My reception is still not right either, I have the OEM amp working now, one of those in line amps and a splitter. I regularly drive from south to north and back and trying to keep a decent radio reception is driving me nuts.

Next thing I want to try is disconnect the input to the TMC to see what it sounds like without having the signal split two ways. But at the moment I've been needing the TMC function and it has been very useful.

I might then try the supplied TMC aerial along with the inline amp and see if that works.

Harry, I think the flutter you describe is the AF kicking in trying to find a stronger frequency. Turn AF off and that goes away. I must admit the AF function is quite frustrating, I've found it sometimes retunes to weaker (or non existant signals) than the frequency I had it set to. I hope that goes away when a decent reception solution is found.
