Turvey Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm sorry I can't answer your question but it has helped me ;) Over the last few months, just after installing the 'new' 2.5 shape stereo so I could get an AUX input, I have noticed a reduction in the quality of the radio signal. I was putting this down to either the new stereo being not very good or the installation. But having read your post I realised that when I installed the stereo I also installed an old iPod with a cigarette lighter charger/holder at the same time. So today when out and about and the signal dropped I pulled the iPod charger out and immediately the station returned :) So sorry for not being able to help you but thank you for helping me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turvey Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hopefully one of our audio/electronics experts will be able to figure out what may be causing it and suggest a solution ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
