Is it just me or does anyone else find the FM reception below par. I struggle to pick us the towns local radio even when I'm in town!

Worse than my Volvo V70 (I), but better than my Volvo S60 (I). I’m not impressed, but not particularly unimpressed either. Stopped using FM when I found that we get the BBC World Service on DAB here.

DAB reception is equally bad.

Interesting. We had DAB radio on travelling down from Newark to Stamford on Thursday and it was spot on. No problem.

Okay, maybe bad is a bit strong. Stations that I used to be able to receive on my old car, cut in and out in the E, so the reception is not as good.

Hmm, I wonder if the issue is with a particular DAB band? More investigation needed on this one...

Ensembles vary signal quality wise nationwide the BBC ensemble seems pretty solid, if you are having issues on DAB BBC channels continually then that would suggest that there is an issue with the DAB antenna setup in the car.
