KJB400 - sorry for the delayed response. No I haven't found a solution yet. I believe that there is something wrong with my rear window (my DAB antenna is on the rear window as i don't have a sharks find pod on my roof as i have full pano roof).

I am starting to think that it is a issue with the connection. I live on top of a hill with nothing really around me and the signal is intermittent with the boot closed. Then once I open it I get a signal. I will pop the rubber boot off in the boot and visually check the wiring for any damage. Other than than I will have to take it to a garage or specialist.. Or perhaps just get used to no DAB.

Hi Baxlin, I am unsure of where the aerial is as it has a full glass roof therefore doesn't have the "shark fin" on the roof. I haven't added a dash cam or changed anything. Do you think that aerial could be in the boot behind the number plate?

Hi all, I have a 2017 rapid spaceback SE tech TDI. Had it from new and absolutely love the car and it suits the family perfectly. Recently I have been experiencing an issue with the DAB radio signal - which until now has been flawless. It is constantly intermittent while driving along, the frequency of the radio dropping out varies. I believed at first it was an issue locally so switched to FM and carried on. Last week I had to work in Dorset cira 200 miles form home and the radio was exactly the same. The issue happens with both the National stations and regional. When I got home I left the car running while quickly unloading some bits out the boot, and noticed that while the boot was fully open the radio picked up the local DAB station in a area which had recently become a dead zone. I have updated the SatNav up to the latest release on the portal, and checked for other software while there portal is saying that there isn't any. I have tried to retune the stations and at times it is saying that 5A no stations available. If anyone has any ideas then I would really appreciated some help. Thank you in advance for any help.
