Hi ALL,
Whan listening to the RAadio on a DAB station and I indicate the sound level drops so low that it is inaudible.
Any suggestions?

Had the R-Design T5 for 1000miles and loving it, no other issues or faults to report so far!

Thanx
M

I think this would be down to poor signal strength & changing high pressure atmospheric conditions (typically during the summer). The BBC National DAB multiplex is normally pretty solid, the two commercial services (Digital One & Sound Digital) less so.

I haven’t had any noticeable volume change on the infotainment (from any source) when indicators are active. I can’t think of any reason why it would do that. I can only remember it changing when satnav is giving an instruction.

Having paid a little more attention to this I only get the interference on the commercial DAB multiplexes (sound digital & digital one) and only when use the left indicator NOT the right :-S
