NAV PLUS RADIO bad reception
I had my A4 2002 with nav plus radio and 6cds, for almost two years and in
that time the radio reception on FM has gotten worse to the point of local stations being bearly listenable and national stations dissapearing into to absolute noise. Now, just the local radio station can be syntonised. The curious thing is some times when i turn off the NAV PLUS and turn it on again, all the radio stations come back ok again. But just about little time. Which will be the problem? Peter Moura |

Hi Peter,
You dont say where you are, but I had the same problem with my UK A6 unit (satnav+TV etc) The A6 has the aerial built into the rear screen. There is a small box of electronics that go with it under the rear parcel shelf (on a 4 door) I had that replaced under warrenty. It went again (this is a 1999 A6) and in the end I fitted a Bosch helical aerial and reception has been great ever since! Good luck, John. |

Had a run around with the stupid sales thingy at the dealer (despite what I told you about ME being your advocate in the Service dept 8 weeks ago, don't bother me again) there was no resolution offered by the dealer. The AM reception still sucks; I just haven't got the energy to go hit the jackass with the lumber he so richly deservers. Argggh. Love the car though. A lot. |

External antenna? I think its a internal antenna on back window.
No the problem is another thing... Can any else give a try?
