Radio signal

[DomP182]

I'm trying to get to the bottom of the poor signal on the radio in my 172, FM is ok, could be better but works where as AM and MW are non existent.

I've checked the aerial lead on the headunit and wiggled the leads at the aerial lead but no improvement. Is it definitely a case of needing a new/used aerial base?

My am and mw have always been s**t on my 182 even when it was new.

Mines s**t in my clio and my megane

f**k knows whats up with it but AUX solves all them issues

It was ok in my 182, I'm not sure I can be bothered to sort replace the aerial base then really, more pressing matters

Ariel base isnt too bad a job, my poor reception forced me into it. Was horrendous. Just got to be careful and not prise the headlining down too far and be prepared to work restricted

I've had a bit of a poke around, seems doable without removing much more than the boot seal and a few headlining clips.
