No radio signal

[LPJunior]

Has anyone experienced a lack of FM radio signal? I can only tune in about 3 stations. Tried a factory reset with no luck.

Lemme guess . . . you changed to a shorty antenna?

I can get dozens of FM stations here with the stock antenna.

Problem occurs with factory and aftermarket antennas. Everything was fine until the last OTA update, which may just be coincidental

Wow - how 'old school' of you listening to FM radio. Reminds me of my Dad, who would ONLY listen to 1010 WINS.

That's helpful. Maybe you can show me where the compact disc player is located while you're at it.

My CD player is in my computer at home. I rip all the songs off the disk, put them on a flash drive and end up with hours of stuff *I* like to listen to completely commercial free. Glad to help. lol

Have you made any audio upgrades? If so, perhaps the antenna cable was loosened or disconnected inadvertently.

Otherwise, Hope you are still under the 3/36 warranty and can get it repaired by your dealer.

Just rear pods, which shouldn't have had an impact. No issues for a few months after install.

you say factory and aftermarket antennas. Did you change and then go back to OEM?

Changed, had no issues for months, then suddenly started experiencing lack of signal, changed back to OEM and still have same issue. Everything at the antenna looks normal. Signal is only slightly improved with the antenna in place versus no antenna at all.

Hey now...not like they were trying to locate the cassette desk...

(And yes, my XK8 has both cassette and the in-trunk 6-cd changer. The now-departed F-Type had a single CD in the center storage compartment)
