Dab & FM reception poor
In all my previous Land Rovers radio reception has been good, but in the Evoque both the Dab and FM signals are weak, Has anyone noticed the same, and where is the aerial?

RE: Dab & FM reception poor
Goodness I find the DAB and FM reception in my Evoque to be miles better than in the last FFRR I had - I couldn't get DAB at all within 10 miles of home in that, in the Evoque I have crystal clear DAB sat on my drive, I can also get miles better TV reception on the in dash TV outside the house whereas I got only a snowstorm in the FFRR
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

When I had mine in the service dept last week the service writer informed me that there was a radio reception fix that was changed under warranty. So there must be a history of some units having a reception issue. If your having problems, tell your shop.

RE: Dab & FM reception poor
I have to say that my DAB reception is really good, I have a DAB radio at home and this is easily equal to the home unit with an attached aerial.
Do some more messing with the settings, alternatively pop in a good dealer in your area and ask for some help, maybe the master tech could through some light on it.

I also find FM reception to be poor - especially on a local station (Radio Jackie) which perhaps has a less powerful transmitter. Unfortunately its so bad in the Evoque I now longer listen to the station at all.

My DAB reception is good but the radio has failed to pick up any DAB stations on a few occasions which is annoying.

I must confess I have found DAB to be superb and the follow on facility means it has not missed a beat whilst I have travelled the country.
T V I find a bit hit and miss but it is not watched much.

Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.
Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.
