I have tried to pm you but get the message that you are not accepting pms, so they message is below:

The only time i can do before this weekend is at about 4.15 on Friday we could meet at the services just off M54 junction 4 on the Shifnal road ?

If not will have to be next week on Thursday or Friday at the same place, please let me know what is best for you, you can pm me or respond on here

Hi Edd,
Have to say I've found my radio reception isn't as good as it used to be.
Going through underpasses I'm getting signal breakup or losing signal altogether!

Be really interested to hear how you get on!

Kind regards,
Paul

High Trebor and thanks for your offer... I have been very busy we have the builders installing an extra bathroom and I have been concentrating on that. I am going to York on Sunday to the meet and some of the guys have said they will have a look at it there.

If there is still no joy may I still take advantage of you very generous offer?

Thanks

Edd

ok no probs

Well done guys, this has worked a treat on my Xtrons double din! Not only have I got great radio reception, but I can now actually read what is scrolling across the radio screen (RDS) instead of a whole lot of b*******!

To be honest, I haven't put a 1 amp fuse in mine (yet), I figured that the Symphony didn't need one so why should this one?

It all makes perfectly good sense if you read the diagram on top of the unit where it highlights the brown wire as 'antenna power'! Well spotted!

i thought mine was sorted, no, comes n goes, found a guy in the pub has same unit and has the same problem in a transit, so we swapped for a week, still no good, sick of it now, so its sold on ebay, original unit placed in and what a difference, i miss the crackle and white noise....not,, chhhhhhhsssssssshiiiissssssssss.

so its gone, thank goodness for that
