Our 2018 Ducato has very poor radio reception, which I believe is due to an inferior antenna location. I understand this to be in the passenger-side door mirror.
I have in mind to insert an antenna signal-booster into the cable from said antenna.
I believe there is an antenna connector behind the passenger-side glove-box, which sounds like an ideal location.

1. Dos this sound like a good solution?
2. How is the glove-box assembly removed to gain access?

Many thanks for any help!

I did this and found it didn’t make a great deal of difference. Make sure you buy the good FM pre amplifier also. The Chinese make some that are rubbish. In my case the antenna base had a really poor connection. I cleaned it up and got a much better signal but still poor.
My antenna is in the centre of the roof on the front.
If you got an external antenna it will improve your signal.
The one I have is too small so I plan on making a longer one .

I suspect that the Ducato’s engine management and wiring generates radio noise, and cutting it down would have added too much production cost to a Van, where entertainment isn’t high on the list of priorities. I don’t know why Fiat changed from a whip to a wing mirror mounted aerial, it’s a terrible idea as it has very variable pickup from different directions, is too low to pick up a good FM or DAB signal and is too close to the engine electrical noise. I guess it means that if you fit a non-metal body (motorhome) you don’t need to change anything. A booster (preamplifier) will be of no use in this situation, it simply increases the signal and noise by the same amount without improving the signal to noise ratio. An above-windscreen whip works OK if you have a metal cab roof, it should be about 700 mm long for FM, 350 mm long for DAB and 500 mm long for a compromise covering both. Don’t angle it away from perpendicular to the roof by more than say 45 degrees or the pickup is reduced. Also make sure the outer screen of the cable is properly attached to the metal roof (access by removing the courtesy lights). If you are stuck with a fibreglass roof, you can make it appear to be metal as far as the aerial is concerned by sticking aluminium foil to the underside, about a square metre under the aerial will do. The outer screen of the cable needs to be electrically connected to it by some suitable method, e.g. splay it over the foil then cover with strong adhesive tape.
