The Pioneer radio in my Tuscan is next to useless. I suspect It''s the antenna setup or lack of it rather than the radio, so I''d like to try an internal amplified antenna or anything else to improve reception. I understand that the radio is difficult to get out so I may have to splice into the antenna wire that runs up the LH door pillar. I''ve seen a couple of cars with small antennas on the roll bar. If anyones got any ideas and tips or has made improvements already I would like to hear from you.

My radio is equally poor, but I've just had the sports exhaust conversion, and now I don't even bother turning it on !!

Nearly all tuscans have bad reception. Every so often there is one of two that are OK but no one seems to know why, even the experts. Im upgrading to DAB next week along with amps and extra speakers. Pioneer radio that comes as standard is DAB ready aparently.

The factory sorted mine so its now as good as my Chimaera was. No antenna. I don't know what they did but it worked. You still have to continually adjust the volume to the engine noise.

Try getting them to fit a standard aerial inside the rear roof bar, tucked inside it will not look stupid and should help, Richard Prebble did this with his Cerbera and while it is not perfect, it did improve things, take a look at http://www.fc.net/~imaster/ ================ Graham and Rosie

Why don't you just play CD's/Minidiscs? Some good Rave/Jungle/House/Rock and you'll be doing 120mph+ in no time!
