Anyone have any issues with the radio aerial? The rail itself will only intermittently find random radio stations but that's it...

Mines the same - car came with one of those tiny aluminium aerials so thought it was that so bought new original type but still the same... Finds one station only.

yep my radio struggles with reception too

I had the same issue no stations or intermittent stations.
remove the cover on the passenger door mirror on the left of the mirror / the side nearest the window there are 2 wires remove them and clean up the connections and bingo easy fix. This is the same fix for the air con not working also.
Good luck but it worked for me.

There is no wiring in the Stilo door mirror for the radio aerial.

I agree with you, Jim. Not the best reception, was it? A rather curt and abrupt message from somebody who should perhaps know better.

Stick with the forum. One misfiring plug doesn't mean that all the others are faulty.

I had the same problem, and I checked the basics first like is the aerial correctly fitted to the back of the headunit. After this I purchased an aerial booster from eBay. It's the type that's like a little black box. I fitted it and then I picked up about 20 new stations. It's been the best £12 spent.
