FM reception woes. Antenna?

mike sevel · 07-20-2018, 06:35 PM

08 E93 Cabrio. FM reception is getting garbled. AM seems OK.
Duplicate stations playing or off-center station settings.
Where is the FM antenna and is it accessible for inspection and possible DIY?
Thanx,
Mikey

Do you have idrive? I find the FM reception is awful in our X5 vs my 330i. They both have logic 7, the only difference is the idrive.

The e93's have two antenna's one for roof down one for roof up.
See if it makes any difference in the two positions.
