RCZ Radio Reception Issue

I have a 2015 Peugeot RCZ, diesel engine, with 265000 km. The radio reception has gone bonkers. I get an error message, and sometimes the audio cuts out. The codes show an antenna error. Could a defective antenna cause this? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Summary of the thread

The 2015 Peugeot RCZ experienced radio reception issues, with error messages and audio cutouts, linked to an antenna error code. A defective antenna was identified as the core problem. A similar issue in another vehicle suggested the possibility of a failing antenna amplifier. The solution involved professional diagnosis and repair, confirming the antenna defect, with the repair costing approximately 255€.

Your issue sounds like one I had with my 2018 Volvo V90. Same symptoms: error messages, audio failures, and an antenna fault code. For me, it was a failing antenna amplifier. Have you checked the amplifier’s connectivity and power? Do you know the diagnostic procedures for the RCZ antenna system?

An antenna amplifier? I didn't know that existed! Where is it located? Can I check it myself, or is it a workshop job? Could this explain the static noise with a weak FM signal?

The amplifier location varies; check the service manual. A visual inspection is possible, but a full diagnosis needs special equipment. Given the error codes, I'd recommend a qualified workshop. The repair cost me 255€.

Thanks! I suspected it needed professional help. I booked it in. The antenna was defective! Parts and labour were around 255€. All working now!
