Is anyone else suffering poor DAB reception at the moment? I've been all over the country this week and reception is poor and the auto switching to FM barely kicks in. I had a Shark fin aerial fitted when I first got the van and it's been fine, this has come on purely in the last 7 days or so.
Has DAB reception ever been good, anytime I travel in any vehicle DAB is intermittent at best… always end up on FM or streaming.
have you recently added a 12vUSB adapter to the van? some are known to cause DAB interference.
So did mine until I used a decent nextbase hardwire cable, since then been no problem at all.
I'm going to have to try that then.. I've added the ferrite core rings and it hasn't improved with those.

It does seem to be worse recently. I've had enough of it constantly cutting out especially when you spend a lot of time in the coast, countryside and the M62 where signal is not great. I've started using streaming on an old phone in the glove box that also has a load of downloaded Spotify albums instead. I'm convinced it sounds a lot better through the standard T6 audio setup too.
I've tried downloading music to Spotify (making sure to tick the High Quality) for when DAB and also mobile reception is poor, and it sounds terrible via bluetooth.
Splashy treble, no bass, even adjusting the EQ on the head unit doesn't make much of a difference.
Using a 3yo Sony phone, with Absolut5 supplied speakers and amp, so maybe it is my phone?
Thanks, looks like I need to investigate further.
Never rated him, basically Jeremy Kyle for radio.
On my t6.1 standard head unit it has always cut out when I pass a mobile phone antenna. Is that normal ? Doesn't happen in any other vehicle I drive
