C220 W204 DAB reception fixed
Discussion
Had the car for a year, always had extremely poor DAB reception (approx every 2 minutes it would cut out for between 10 to 20 seconds) - read in here that it's a common problem, no solution, so gave up on DAB.
When booking it in for the service the receptionist told me that there was a retrofit DAB aerial kit that fixed the problem and that they would fit this as part of the service.
(due to someone there just making brief notes on the service form rather than proper notes, this wasn't done at the service so had to be done a couple of weeks later... service staff - sigh!)
Anyway, now it is fitted it all works like it should.
1/5 hour drive and the DAB radio cut out once for a couple of seconds - before this retrofit it was unlistenable.
So sorted.
This may be old news, but it's made me happy.
A pity it's been fixed 50% of the way through the lease, so I'll only get to use DAB for the remaining year.
