Hi,

*bog

I thought the AM reception on my Focus was bad but the 2014 Fabia is worse.

I like to listen to radio 5 live for the football sometimes but this is not possible in the Skoda.

Ironically, this is a known issue on the Focus and there is a published fix for it but what is the solution for the fab? The FM reception seems OK.

Anyone help with this, please?

Thanks

I had this a couple of months ago so after using carista app to search for faults on my 2011 fabia it stated Radio antenna fault so I replaced the aerial base which had corroded due to water ingress cost me £25 but the am signal is better than ever since yours is still under warranty get the dealer to do the leg work and check for any radio faults.

I'll do this as soon as I can find my OBD2 adaptor!

OK, so I finally found my OBD2 adaptor. Ironically, it was in the cavernous glove box on the Fab.

 

So, I read codes and there are none. Do I take it that the codes relating to the radio need to be read via another tool or mechanism?

 

Or, that there aren't any to report ?

When I scanned mine it read radio antenna fault I scanned it a few times and still came up with same fault code that's when I checked the aerial base to see it had corroded .

Thanks for the info.

 

So, if I have no error codes but zero AM reception, I guess a trip to the dealer is on the cards.

People still use AM?

For the football. Five Live.

Ah okay.

Not a football person so i wouldnt understand haha

Mine is fine, I guess it depends where you are in the country?

I'm in the West Midlands.

 

If the car is parked adjacent to my Mk 2.5 Focus which, incidentally, has a FSB for the radio ground wiring (poor reception/interference) that I've not done anything about yet, I get Five Live on 693/909 kHz without any problems at all. And just static in the Skopedo.
