stock radio reception 406

chili · Post by **chili** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 5:44 pm

i have replaced my roof aerial base as it was bust, got a genuine one fron pug ?4 odd and have put my original long aerial back on the car.
the radio is a standard clarion.

my problem is that the local radio channels reception is so broken up, if i go to my mondeo which has a cheapish kenwood in it and standard roof aerial the reception is perfect and always has been. i'd like to leave the clarion in the pug as i like the stick control.

have you any idea what the problem maybe ? this is the same while moving and stationary.

off to work now night shift this week so won't be round to reply.

thanks

The reception on my Clarion is similar, doesnt pick up the local stations too well. Picks the main stations up fine though.

actually it was easy to do.
my whole mount that the aerial screws into was bust, it was just a case of prising the interior light out, undoing two star screws and there you have it access to the roof mount, 1 bolt that has the aerial co-ax on it undo the nut coax pulls off, roof mount pops off via outside of car.
my new one just did the exact opposite of above.
