Poor radio reception after fitting new interior

muffking · 12-21-2013, 11:50 AM

Hi guys.
Some of you may have spotted my new interior thread where i also changed the centre console/arm rest, but now my radio reception is weaker than it used to be and gets worse the longer i leave the radio on for.
Is anyone aware of anything that i could have done to have caused thi when changing the interior, or does anyone know where the aerial lead/coax runs so i can check if it's been trapped anywhere?

Forgot to mention, i did change the battery too. The radio didnt lose the stations, but could this cause poor reception in some way?

Poor earth? No idea where to check, but just you mentioning the battery have me that thought. Could be totally wide off the mark though.
