DAB Radio
Radio reception has worked absolutely faultlessly for 3 months (albeit dreadful sound quality). Now I get constant drop out since last Thursday. Known issue?

Sometimes high pressure can affect radio reception. I've not noticed any changes however.

Thanks Nigel, looks like you're right. Gone back to Bluetoothing TuneIn from my phone.
Technology eh?

what was wrong with the audio quality in the last few weeks ? maybe the DAB unit in the car has finally packed up . Maintenance is all listed on the main DAB web sites . another point , there is highly likely a DAB software update available for your car .

mine cuts in and out now again but not too bad.
what i find annoying is that even though i have set it to show singer/song name (or something like that) it still only shows me the station playing. unlike my dab at home that does show all the info.

I find dab in mine to be worse in clear weather, always glitchy, in rain/cloud/etc seems to get a nice signal.
I'm happy with Clan's explanation for now and ignoring how excellent DAB is the Nissan we also own Not sure if its just my imagination but DAB in the V40's seem to work better in the area I live than the rest of the range. I have a 2014 V60 and its a bit patchy, friends up the road have a 2011 s60 and a 2014 V70 both have the same DAB reception issues as mine, only difference with them the Renault they had was also terrible. I just get annoyed than the Nissan one works so well! We have a few V40's in work and whenever I use them I seem to have no issues with DAB at all...they are newer mind so maybe I should give the software update ago... |

Mine starts breaking up if certain vehicles are around me. In a queue the other day, I was followed back up the road by a lorry. When the lorry was close I lost reception, when I pulled away reception came back. I think that certain vehicles have devices in them that cause interference but I have no idea what.
