radio arial is weak on new patrol
I am wondering if others are having trouble with radio reception in newer model patrols, The arials are on the rear windows and mine are next to useless in outer areas. Had it back on warranty and they changed one "booster" but not much better. cheers

Is this a Y61 or the new body shape Y62?
Please head over to the Introduction section mate and say Hello before asking questions. We like people to say Hi went they walk in a room.
Cheers MR

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Can't find the introduction section, was on forum up to a couple of years ago. It's a 2012 GU8 maybe, My old 2006 patrol had an electric arial, it just broke when off road. Also eventually achieved 10+ klm/ltre, not tailwind either but sitting around 95-100 kph. cheers (will look harder for intro section)

Hi Bullo, yeap the reception is absolute crap in the GU8. Been back to Nissan twice and still no better. I believe it's the aerial being in the window that's the issue, never had any issues with the old external ones.

Hey folks, this might sound stupid but... You guys with the reception problems, do you have tinted windows ? Might not apply to FM but, the rear windows with the areal on it gets real fuzzy when a "metalic" type tint is applied to the window and gets in contact with the areal there. The window antenna is also AM from what I'm told.
Not saying this is your issue, but just a brainstorming idea. I got my windows tinted this morning and as soon as the bloke saw the patrol, he pointed that little fact out to me.

Hi Hodge, yeap I have tinted windows but the reception was crap before I had it added. Nissan tried to tell me that was the issue but the problem was there before, also it's a non metallic tint. The XTrail had exactly the same tint and the reception was great, but it had a small external aerial.
