Peugeot 2008 Radio Reception Fault

Guys, I'm at my wit's end! My 2023 Peugeot 2008 (electric) is giving me major headaches. The radio reception is absolute garbage. I'm getting a persistent error message on the infotainment system, the audio cuts out completely sometimes, and I pulled the error codes and it's showing some antenna fault. I'm thinking the antenna is just plain defective. Anyone else had this?

Sounds like a potential antenna issue, especially given the error codes. Has this been happening since you got the car, or did it start recently? Have you checked the antenna ground connection? A poor ground can definitely cause FM signal problems and static noise. Also, is it just FM, or do other audio sources (like Bluetooth or USB) have issues too?

It's started maybe a month ago, the car has 183532 km on it. I haven't touched the grounding but I don't even know where to start checking it. Bluetooth and USB audio are fine, it's purely the radio. So does that confirm it is an Antenna defective?

Okay, since Bluetooth and USB are working normally, that isolates the problem to the radio receiver or antenna circuit. Given the error codes and FM-only issue, it's highly probable the antenna is defective. The ground point will likely be near the base of the antenna. However, fiddling with grounds without experience can create other issues. My recommendation is to get it to a workshop and get the antenna tested.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions! I'll bite the bullet and take it in. Turns out you were right. The antenna was indeed defective, and the cost to replace it was 255€. Radio works perfectly now!
