Guest Scott Guests Posted 14/07/04 02:32 AM Share Posted 14/07/04 02:32 AM Anyone else out there experiencing dodgy radio reception in their XRT6 ? I have the premium sound system and whilst it's great when listening to CD's, the radio reception is a joke ?

My company fairmont has shocking radio reception and my turbo had no reception when I picked it up!!The problem IMO is the stupid in screen aerials.In Canberra with all the surrounding hills FM stereo is basically crap.Cragin Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11816-premium-sound-system/#findComment-143242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Guests Posted 14/07/04 04:42 AM Share Posted 14/07/04 04:42 AM Thanks Craig. I was pretty sure that was the case. My previous car had the standard aerial and the reception was great no matter where I drove. I dont suppose there are any remedies available ( apart from listening to CD's all the time !!)
