The aerial sounds a bit clunky at the point at which it has extended fully and also when it has retracted.
I also tried a Griffin iTrip on an iPod and couldn't get any connection to the unit.
So, it looks like signal reception is the problem.
I don't want to spend too much on trying to sort this out so what's my best bet for isolating and solving the problem i.e.
1. How can I tell whether it's the aerial or the HU-655 where the problem lies?
2. If aerial, any advice on replacement? Had a look and it's not the easiest location to get at.
3. If unit itself, any advice on replacement?
Thanks.

To check if is aerial related you can try the following;
remove the aerial cable from the unit.
put a small screwdirver in the aerial socket touching the centre pin
make sure that your finger is touching the part of the screwdriver that is making contact with the centre pin. (you act as an aerial.)
if you get sound from the radio perform a search it should stop on a local station. if it does your aerial is ok.
if no luck you can send the unit to
