Technical Stereo/Aerial Problems

[jparr2712]

Hi guys and fellow Bravo drivers

I have recently bought a Bravo Tjet 150

however the aerial seems to be playing up

you can find the local radio stations however theyre really poor quality and keep cutting in and out when i havent had an issue in the past.

Anyone experienced this before?

Do you have the standard stereo, or a replacement? The Bravo has an amplifier in the aerial base, which needs power supplied from the standard stereo. If you replace the stereo, then a separate power feed injection into the aerial lead is needed.

It is a standard stereo system.

any thoughts?

Remove the stereo and check the aerial lead is securely plugged in. You need special keys for thay. Search the forum for the thread "Fitting AUX lead".

Is there a way to get it out without those keys, any 'DIY' Methods?

So does that just plug into the back of the radio and you just find a way back through the dashboard and plug your phone in?

That's it. The relatively easy way is to feed the cable through into the glove box

just another thing, just come to remove the radio and i can see the left pin is bent the opposite way and stopping it from getting out, what the best way to get it out?

Pass on that one, sounds like a previous owner has made a mess of things for you.
