On my traditional FM/AM thingy in the Coupe/S2 I am lucky to get more than 3-4 decent FM stations at any given moment. Reception is rubbish.

I have given in and use iTunes. Depending on where I am even streaming music/radio over 3G and above is better than the radio for stable reception. BBC iPlayer, Sky player, Deezer, Spotify and other options also work reasonably in good signal areas.

I have upgraded the amp/speakers etc but not bothered with the head unit as a result. Its a volume knob.

When I moved to an iPhone 6 plus the larger screen size made the SatNav great using Google Maps, Waze (excellent app) and others. We won't mention Apple Maps, apparently the software coders use it to get to work and have yet to find there way to the office so it has not improved !

Ipod with USB plugged in all the way for me as I like to listen to my own style /type of music

Stick on arial on the screen is waste of time - the heated screen elements kill it's effectiveness completely.

Hopwood is correct the Aero aerials are built in somewhere in the back panel where the hood attaches. I still haven't found mine! They hardly work. My radio was poor so I purchased a stick on aerial for the windscreen thinking that the OE aerial was using the heater elements. That didn't work either so given up, CD only now.

I suspect that fitting an aerial like that is probably the only good solution: based on my experience when extended and connected to a DAB splitter it should work well as a DAB aerial. The standered Traditional extenfing aerial fitted to Tarka works very well indeed.

I had a DAB unit fitted with a stick on windscreen aerial that works fine with good reception AM/FM and DAB. Aerial looks like it is powered which may be the difference.
