When the sound of my speed six just isn't enough......

[robbinl]

Now, it's not often that I want to hear something different than the sound of my speed six engine but on the rare occasion that I do, can I get a good reception on my radio? Can I buggery.
Anybody know where the remote end of the aerial cable resides please? Think it needs a coat of looking at.

The aerial is located tucked down inside the nearside front wing, you will need to remove the main bonnet and then the triangle access panel. My radio reception is crap as well.

Macey when I drive anywhere near you I can't gear my radio as well!!!!

[so called]

Mine is on the boot but still not the best reception ?

How are you?

Mine has a dab fitted , was an upgrade at purchase. I think there is a booster and the ariel is in the boot running along under the flap. Reception is quite good, much better than the Cerberas was.
( Sorry if a bit vague, haven't had it long.)

Crap radio reception here too - but only when the engine is running. CD is fine

[froggie]

think most fibreglass cars suffer from a lack of ground plane ,possibly a strap to the chassis?

Or i have used those electronic window areal in the past.
Yep DAT areal are across the rear panel

+1 Mine was a Dealer retro fit and reception is pretty good, but unfortunately there are no DAB Alpine options. The best out there is a JVC which is ok but looks a bit naff compared to a nice understated Alpine.

i fitted an amplified areal in the boot seems to have sorted the problem

This came highly recommended, windscreen antenna. I've not yet got round to fitting it so can't give a first hand report unfortunately.

Had the nearside front triangle off and still can't locate the aerial/ termination point? Could they have mounted them elsewhere?
Like the look of that Blaupunkt aerial. Will be having one if I find no issues with my existing one!
