Alright, so here is my problem, my reception is really bad with my F700. Radio stations that were normally crystal clear are now cluttered with lots of static at best. My car is a 2007 Subaru Impreza which has an internal powered antenna (I believe). Anyhow, I did check to see that the antenna was plugged in on the back of the deck. Am I missing something else simple? Thanks in advance for the help.

I've F900BT (in NL) . FM reception with TMC is OK, AM is poor, LW is nill-to-zero.

LW only give me one loong sizzling-beep. I nor the dealer can figure things out. Dealer is BTW not oriented on car-systems.

 

My other system (Fabric Ford "Kenwood" Navigation) did OK receiving 162KHz

Check to see if your model of car has an antenna amplifier

Hi,

 

Some feedback & cause about poor reception.

My Chevrolet is packed with voltage-converters which transmits interference in the 150Khz en 192Khz band. This the reason why I don't have any reception. Apparently the "new" (SW/PS) technology rules out the old radio reception. It's a real pity . . .

 

Anyway, just to let you know. . . .
