Audi A4 2003 - Poor Radio Reception - Steveieb

The radio reception on FM is occasionally poor on my 2003 A4. I understand that there is an aerial amplifier in the headlining near to the back screen, where the aerial is located .

Has any one undertaken a fix, which I understand involves undoing the headlining and clipping the unit together with some bulldog clips?This I understand improves the contact of the units inside the amplifier. I also need advise on removing and replacing the head lining.

If its a saloon, it failed on mine.

If I recall correctly its located above the rear screen, there is a small separate section of headlining at the back that just unclips, no need to take it all down.

In the Avant its on the RHS behind the pull down door.

This might help

Really grateful for this elegant fix.

Just wondered if you tried the bulldog clip repair which involves compressing the case of the amplifier where the break is using everyday office clips.

Cheers,
