The other day I was complaining about the awful radio reception on our newly acquired C220CDi Estate, someone kindly pointed me towards a NOS aerial amp on eBay.
Unfortunately this was not the correct version (being for a coupe), but a conversation with a particularly knowledgeable MB stores guy revealed that the fault probably isn't the amp. anyway. Mercedes have only ever sold 34 of these components ever, worldwide !
He says there probably isn't much that can be done about it as the radio / aerial combination's not very good in poor reception areas anyway; I have to agree that once we get away from the hills and valleys of North Wales it works fine.
It's a bit annoying, though, when the vhf band on the 45 year old Blaupunkt in our 3.4 Jaguar works infinitely better !
