Radio signal

[tiler]

Hello all

The radio signal in my m5 e60 is to say the
least is shocking, It searches in and out. Now starting to annoy me.
Any advice on the problems
of other radio issues would be useful.

Have you had (or previously fitted by someone else) some new LED head lights (cheap ones lol)... because they can seriously mess up the radio signal.

I fitted some to my M3 and the signal from the radio was shocking. Some frequency they give off will mess with the radio.

Hi
And no to the led lights they where fitted after.
The radio has been bad since day one ?

ok - might be worth getting the connection to the radio ariel checked and/or the tuner unit itself...

Its almost deffinately the diversity antenna amplifier located above the rhs rear head lining. It controls the remote key and FM signal. How is the range on your key blipper ?

The range off the key fob is rubish.
You have to be at the side of the car.
