Mudman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi Zedders Recently replaced the aftermarket ripspeed Radio/CD/DVD mainly as it was awful, Radio reception very bad couldnt lock into stations, CD wouldnt accept discs etc. So treated the Zed to a brand spanking Pioneer App Radio and guess what ? - same issue with radio reception . Local fitters at Halford were very good and put a signal booster on plus a few other bits at no extra charge and about 5 hours trying to fix it ( thanks Jody: Kings Lynn Halfords) but still only get a signal when practically next door to the local radio station. It was noted when the drivers door was open and closed the reception flutters so he thinks its an earthing issue. MW doesn't work at all just crackling ( 5 Live listener !) iPhone music playback is fine and the apps inc satnav all work well and are clear . Halfords were pretty sure they hadn't fitted the own Brand Ripspeed or the comment was that ' I would be disappointed if a Halford fitter had done this wiring' The front spreakers would also cut out with only the sub woofer working - thats been fixed though by removing the small remote. He also commented that the aerial is the earth - have various stubbies and have a new one from Redline on but not making any difference So question is this a common problem ? any fixes or need to go into a specialist for diagnosis ? welcome any comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Aha sounds like this could be it - HAve booked car in with the car sparks Thursday so let you know how i get on - Might even think about getting a rear view camera as the head units has to come out again and the radio has the connections for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
