Renault Wind radio reception issue

I'm having a frustrating issue with my 2012 Renault Wind petrol. The radio reception is terrible. I keep getting an error message on the infotainment system, and sometimes the audio just cuts out completely. It’s also throwing an error code. Anyone else experienced this?

Interesting. I had similar FM signal issues in my 2018 Volvo V60. Have you checked the antenna connection? It might sound daft, but is the antenna itself intact? No damage or corrosion?

Thanks for the tip. I've had a quick look, but I couldn't see anything obviously wrong. Whereabouts was the antenna connection in your Volvo? Was it easy to access?

The Volvo's antenna base was under the shark fin antenna. Access required removing part of the headliner, but that's beside the point. Given your car's age and the error code, I'd suspect the antenna itself or its amplifier, which I'd wager is defective. I would recommend getting it checked by a workshop.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a local garage, and they confirmed the antenna was faulty. Repair cost was 255€, so not too bad. All sorted now!
