Hi All,
I have read a few things about bad radio reception on the Monaro and wondered it there is anything i can do to make it better? 99% of the time i have my CD's playing as loud as they can go but the radio sometimes is needed and it's really bad. Or Can i fit another Good system i.e Kenwood, Sony e.t.c
One last thing my stero's volume is quite loud but the volume gets to a point but doesnt get any louder but the level show on the dash goes higher but the real volume stays the same. how can i over come this????

You can adjust the amp up I believe.
It's in the boot behind the trapdoor on the left.
You can't see the adjusting knobs but you have to feel for them I think.

Do you really play everything at full volume all the time and think it shoud be louder?

May I respectfully suggest that you may actually be going a bit mutton?


LOL thanks for that. Ill have have a look for the adjusting knobs in the boot when the girlfriend gets home from work in it. But i do have realy good hearing but love it realy loud sometimes lol so i hope my ear drums hold up a little longer lol

What the f%$ is the girlfriend doing in the boot? Sounds like wife abuse to me! ( can you give me any tips on getting my wife in the boot?)

I believe the radio has a setting that ensures no distortion, reardless of how loud you turn it up. This effectively keeps the volume down. Check in the settings for the radio and it should highlight whether the function is on or off. Try turning it off, it may make the difference your looking for.


I cant find a option on the radio anywhere its not in the "EQ" settings when on or off. Maybe its a combo of pushing 2 buttons at the same time. Does anyone know how to turn the volume thing off???
Poxy radio lol

I cant find any menu that can turn it off. I might have to put my ear closer to the speaker instead lol
