Loss of Radio Signal

Post by Iain » Fri Nov 08, 2013 9:46 am

Morning All

TFI Friday!!

So I have the RNS-E No hdd etc - radio has just decided not to pick up any stations.....everything else works ok - just no radio signal.

Any pointers appreciated

Audi want £156 just to look at it - but they will send me a video of the problem once they have diagnosed it!!!

I had this problem.
Turned out the Ariel casing was cracked.
Replaced under warranty.

If you can have Vagcom etc you can look at signal strength etc to see f it is an aerial issue.
