« on: January 15, 2014, 02:56:18 pm »
Hey.

Fitted my new shark fin aerial not to long back, But i have noticed the AM doesn't work.

Just the standard one, Not sure what model it is.

I'm thinking it is the RCD 300?

try swapping the wires around.

I had this issue with my rns nav when I bought the car, asked Richter what could be the problem and they suggested that, and hey presto.

I think he means swapping the aerial leads at the back of the unit.
