Okay - i am loving it!

BUT! My radio reception dropped dramatically (by 40%~ish) with the new radio... Antenna conection looks good/no corrosion...

Has any one else experienced this?

If not... I need to do some ohm measurments of my antenna.

Maybe i stretched it on install or crimped it..

Thanks!

The same problem on Nissan x-trail

Halfords made me buy an antenna amplifier, they said this radio required it for my golf mk4
Was only 15quid plugs into back of stereo then Ariel plugs into it

How does it sound?  Did it really improve reception without introducing more noise?

Thanks!

i had this fitted with the radio so i never experienced it without,

the guy in the shop just told me the radio signal would be awful without it

and ive never had a problem with radio signal since it was fitted

the instructions leaflet:

Thanks for the reply.

Other research revealed the importance of not routing the antenna lead next to power cables (which i did in an effort to 'tidy up' my install and prevent rattles behind the radio).

Once i separated the antenna lead from the other wires - reception improved noticably

...and now the Dash Command works too!

I am loving the radio!
