The DAB is generally pretty good round the Midlands in my car, but it does depend on the station selected. For example the BBC channels are pretty solid everywhere, but If I put on say Heart 80s and head into Worcestershire it can be a bit patchy in some places.

I have an odd one...

I fitted LED indicators front and rear a few months back.

This week I’ve noticed the LED bulbs knock off the DAB when going round corners etc.

Reverse, fog and brake LEDs are fine. Only the indicators

Happens on both sides. To all DAB stations

I can’t understand why I didn’t have this problem directly after I installed the bulbs??

I shall try some ferrets to see if that helps

I went to my parents in Scarborough at the weekend and the DAB reception could give Norman Collier a run for his money.

I doubt ferrets will help!

Maybe try some ferrite cores though

Damn auto correct!!

Anyone know if 3.5mm are big enough without me ripping a light cluster off again? Do they need to be tight or can they be a bit on the large side? Thanks
