Hello all
I have a wonderful Pioneer cd/radio in my vehicle which proved to be a good
investment on our blast through n africa last year. The CD is great, plays
all formats etc but back here here in Blighty, I=B9ve been blighted by truly
poor radio reception on FM. I tolerated it before but am now fed up with
frying eggs and drop out. I have the original fit aerial, mounted in the
near side wing, powered up and down by the two buttons on the dash (which I
quite like...) and I have checked this as much as is possible, cleaned it
etc etc but still the FM reception is poor.
I have seen somewhere that aerial grounding has always been something of an
issue with the 80s series radios but I'm wondering how much of a challenge
it is to replace the aerial with another that fits in the same place, or
maybe I should go for one of the flat jobbies that runs round the edge of
one of the windows.
Similar experiences and so9lutions would be most welcome.
By the way... Message to Jon on the canal... No radio is secure but I think
the head units with the detachable front piece are about as good as it gets.
