Skoda Octavia Radio Error

I'm having trouble with the radio in my 2022 Skoda Octavia diesel. I keep getting an error message in the infotainment system, and the audio system doesn't work at all. The error memory shows something related to the antenna. The car has only a few kilometers on it. Could this be an antenna issue?

Radio reception issues on newer cars can be tricky. The antenna ground is often the culprit. Have you checked the connection to the antenna base? Also, does your Octavia have a signal amplifier or antenna booster? A faulty one could also be the cause.

Where exactly is the antenna ground located? And how would I check the signal amplifier?

The antenna ground is typically near the base of the antenna, often under the headliner. Checking the signal amplifier requires specialized equipment. Based on your description and the error stored, it does sound like a defective antenna. I had a similar issue on my Octavia some time ago. I recommend taking it to a workshop; they can diagnose it properly.

Took it to the shop as you suggested. The antenna was indeed defective. They replaced it, and the error is gone. Total cost was 255€.
