Some help with radio reception please :banghead:

[snowy1101]

I love my new tuscan, just 3 weeks old and my smile won't wane, however the radio reception is rubbish, and I don't know where the aerial is and how to boost it. Although the engine sound is great to listen to, it won't tell me where the traffic queues are, so if anyone out there can help, please do.

Plug it into your arse and use your head as an aerial...after all...your ears are big enough - you'll probably intercept military satellites...


On a serious note - if it is like the Cerbera then it is in the windscreen and it is pretty crap...boosting it from memory is expensive - I got a DAB unit in th4e end and it was much better see the two threads below for some info....

thanks for the tips, i knew i would get the answer here.

by the way basher, "wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak when they have nothing to say."

anyway my ar$e is not as big as yours so the aerial won't fit.

Inverse logic - I always have something to say therefore me very wise person

I have a DAB stereo but not all stations transmit on it and out of London I found the reception to be patchy so wanted to boost the (non-existent) FM reception.

I bought one of the modwise aeriels which was very good VFM at about £35. It was a bugga to fit though (3000ish wires) but the end result was very good. Only thing isd that the AM reception was actually worse!

I would still recommend it though.
