Good questions! No static before it died, just went silent. Where exactly is the antenna ground located? And could a defective antenna really cause all these vehicle electronics errors?

Yeah, the sudden silence is key. The ground is usually near the antenna base, under the headliner. A faulty antenna on these can definitely wreak havoc, throwing errors because it messes with the whole system. Honestly, with those symptoms, it might be time to visit a workshop.

Appreciate the insight! Turns out the antenna was indeed defective. Replaced it, and everything's back to normal. Total cost: 255€ Thanks!

Sounds familiar! I've got a Vezel too, though a bit older. Was there major static noise before the audio died? Have you checked the antenna ground? Poor signal could point to a defective unit or something messing with the FM signal path.
