DAB Radio

[Noel]

I have previously owned four cars or fitted with DAB radio, including a ZX, in all the radio has worked perfectly, I live 10 miles north of Brighton and the reception has been perfect on all of these cars.
The DAB radio in my new PHEV is awful, outside of the dealership, it works, but as soon as I drive off it becomes intermittent, or non-existent, it appears that it needs a very strong signal in order to work. The dealership simple says there is nothing wrong with it.
On other MG forums e.g. MG4, this has been mentioned, and owners have stated that the dealerships have told the that an updated is imminent that will overcome the problem.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve had my PHEV Trophy since last February and my DAB radio has been faultless, even with a rear dash cam fitted, which interfered with the radio on my previous Ford.

I have only had my HS PHEV Trophy for a few days but have to say that the DAB reception has been perfect so far. Much stronger signal than that in my old Outlander PHEV

I've had my car since May last year and I have had absolutely no issues with the radio. I've travelled from the Midlands regularly into Newhaven, Brighton and Portsmouth without any loss of the signal.

I did see someone posted quite a while ago if the aerial isn't grounded properly it can cause this issue.
There is a bolt in the rear window, someone else suggested removing this wet and dry to ensure good metal contact and it fixed their problem.

I've only just received mine yesterday and no issues here.
