Mini Clubman Radio Signal Problems

Anyone experienced radio signal issues in their 2016 Mini Clubman? My radio is basically useless. Constant static, poor signal, and now I'm getting some kind of error. Hoping it's not too expensive to fix.

I had a similar issue with my Opel a few years ago. The symptoms sound like a defective antenna booster. Does the infotainment system display an error message? Is there any error stored in the error memory?

Yeah, there is an error message, and the audio system doesn't work at all. I was hoping it wasn't anything major. What exactly is an antenna booster, and could radio interference cause this?

The antenna booster amplifies the FM signal. If it fails, you'll get poor signal or no signal. Radio interference is unlikely to cause a complete failure. Based on the symptoms, it's very likely that the antenna itself is defective. You should get it checked out at a workshop.

Thanks for the help. Took it to a shop, and they confirmed it was the antenna. Replaced it for 255€, and the radio is working fine again.
