Radio reception is terrible

[Scottys.m3]

Can hardly pick anything up is this nornal. Want a Bluetooth head unit to replace the business I have on there now but think should see why reception is poor first
While on subject is the head unit a easy swap
Thanks again

Your bm54 unit by the battery is knackered and probably needs repair. Google it and you will find out more info.

Thanks il have a look.  I had Google before never found that one so far

BM54 is the radio unit itself.  You might also have a fault on the aerial diversity system which amplifies radio/TV signals.

Have you got factory fitted Sat nav, or the single slot business cd with the MID unit underneath. If it's the single slot business unit the radio module is built in to the CD player, not in the boot.

I don't have sat mav. Just the cd under the flap and radio seperate. I fancy a Bluetooth head unit anyway. Are they hard to fit halfrauds wasn't too sure when they looked. They seem to be doing a good deal on a head unit with facia

I had the same setup as you, I fitted a Dynavin satnav/ Bluetooth unit, had to hack the dash out to fit it in , so no going back. Still got the CD unit from mine if you decide to keep it OEM.
Maybe fit a parrot Bluetooth /streeming kit. Most of the Chinese units have crap Bluetooth and radio reception and require the dash hacking oit.

Cheers mate
Iv gone for the Sony head unit now. Works well but not prefect radio reception. But think I can live with it now I can play music off my phone. It's better but not fixed it completely
