Hi

Driving along this morning and the radio lost it's signal all of a sudden

It's the Bose system , no navi.

55 plate , any ideas what I could check and also does anyone know where the antenna is located?

Cheers

It's a box located in the rear heated screen. Could simply be a broken wire or the box had gone 'pop' !

Hello and thanks for the reply, so how do I exactly get to it?

It's actually in the screen or?

Thanks

open up the boot, then take off the panel, like 4 screws really easy. mines currently off on mine caus i have the same problem.

I checked mine, all the wires seem ok at the box so im thinking it might be further down the line where the signal is lost, as initially it was intermittent, i go over a bump radio goes off, bump then on again. lol.

Lol thanks , I will get the panel off and take a look, is it just a little black box that I'm looking for?


Mine just packed up altogether

Mine only really receives BBC Radio 1... But iv got an aftermarket stereo, does this affect anything?
Pretty sure i was using other stations before i changed the head unit

I'm not sure to be honest , maybe someone else knows the answer so I'll give this a little bump.

In the pic a few posts up , I played about with the middle connector and it sorted until I went over a harsh bump and so I wiggled it again and all is good lol

I have the same issue, I get good signal in London on all stations but the moment i get on the M25 it goes to pot, except for BC stations, going to look at it tomorrow in the daylight to see if anything is physically broken.

I believe the BBC radio stations have better coverage due to them being National stations.
