Radio amplifier / Satnav Highline
Ok.... when the rear demister is on..... the radio is rubbish.....turned off.....radio is great............so I'm thinking the amplifier box behind the C trim needs replacing......
Also........ would that affect the accuracy of the highline satnav ??? Mine seems to be ok..... but sometimes it dives off left or right and then returns to the proper position. Is there a better aerial that I could fit ? Maybe a shark fin to my Zt ?? Or is the satnav receiver somewhere else ? |

On the nearside, the two HRW elements, which double as the radio aerial, are each earthed via a choke (a small tubular electronic component). These are very unlikely to be faulty but their connections could be checked. Quote:

I agree that trying the cleaning is the first choice. Simon
