Pathfinder Radio Reception Issue

I'm having radio reception issues with my 2010 Nissan Pathfinder diesel. I get intermittent error messages, the audio sometimes cuts out, and diagnostic scans show an error. The odometer reads 154907 km. I suspect the antenna. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a Pathfinder, though I don't recall the exact year. I had similar radio issues a while back with error messages and audio cut-outs. Have you checked the antenna ground connection? A corroded or loose ground can cause electrical problems, especially with the radio. Also, have you checked the signal amplifier?

Could you elaborate on the locations of the antenna ground connection and the signal amplifier, and how to inspect them? My knowledge of vehicle electronics is limited.

That was the problem I had. I took it to a workshop, and the mechanics confirmed it was a defective antenna and replaced it. I recommend doing the same.

Following your recommendation, I had it professionally diagnosed, and it was indeed a defective antenna. The replacement cost 255€, and it resolved the radio reception problems. Thanks for the help.
