Corsa Radio Reception Problem

I'm having radio reception issues in my 2022 electric Corsa. It has 123106 km. The infotainment system intermittently displays a radio error, and sometimes the audio cuts out. There's also an error stored. I suspect a defective antenna. Anyone seen this?

I had a similar radio issue with my 2019 Volvo XC60. The symptoms were almost identical – error messages, audio cutouts, and an antenna fault code. Have you checked the signal amplifier? In my case, it wasn't the antenna itself, but a faulty amplifier causing the problem. Radio interference and static noise were also quite prevalent before the amplifier was replaced.

Thanks for sharing. Could you give more detail about how you diagnosed the faulty signal amplifier? Did you use specific diagnostic tools, or was it a process of elimination?

The diagnosis wasn't straightforward. Initially, I suspected the antenna connection. However, a thorough diagnostic check at the workshop revealed that the signal amplifier wasn't providing the necessary power to the antenna. The error codes pointed to a disruption in the signal chain, ultimately leading to the amplifier being identified. Considering your symptoms and the error code, it might be prudent to have a workshop investigate the amplifier as well. My repair cost was around 300€, so the 255.0€ you mentioned seems reasonable, assuming it is indeed the antenna that is defective.

I appreciate your detailed explanation and the suggestion regarding the signal amplifier. I will schedule a workshop appointment to have the entire antenna system, including the amplifier, thoroughly checked. Thanks again for your assistance.
