Peugeot 406 radio reception issue

Experiencing radio reception issues with my 2004 Peugeot 406 diesel. The infotainment system displays an error, and the audio is non-functional. Error memory also stores errors. The car has 79983 km on the clock. I suspect the antenna is defective. What do you think?

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 406. Have you checked the antenna booster? It's a common issue, especially if the antenna ground is corroded. Could also be radio interference or a faulty signal amplifier. Have you tried a different radio to see if the problem persists?

Thank you for your response. I have not checked the antenna booster specifically. Where is it located, and is there a way to test its functionality without specialized equipment? Also, how could I check the antenna ground connection?

No worries. Honestly, locating and testing the booster can be a pain without the right tools. Given the error messages and the audio system completely failing, it does sound like the antenna. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. It cost me 255€ to fix mine.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate the confirmation regarding the likely cause. I will take the vehicle to a workshop for professional inspection and repair.
