Avante, thanks very much!
I went back and they changed the aerial adaptor for aanother one? connect2 or something.
well the reception is now alot better, i can do bsm and it picks up all the stations now with RDS.
Like they say with the diversity aerials etc and factory units its not going to be the same. I have to accept this.
pity as my old mk1 with beesting and single din pioneer had fantastic reception!! new is better?!?!?!
anyway they also changed the surround and it now uses the original cage and trim panel so it now sits better, nit recessed.
Overall, now quite satisfied, sound is ofcourse ALOT better with the pioneer and i had them fit my sub and amp and rear view camera.
I did want the kenwood vehicle specific one, but cost was an issue there, got this lot all doen for half the price and one year guarantee.
sorted.
Thanks once again for your comments guys.
