DAB Signal keeps Dropping ' No Signal '... any others getting this?

See my latest posts on X6 problems. Had my rear screen replaced due to FM interference issues also had DAB dropping. Possibly this? It's not as flash a system as you would expect anyway.

I'll take a look. I do have window tints, wonder if that's the cause !

It will also depend very much on whereabouts you live. If you are more 'remote' or in hilly country then your coverage may not be so good.

I found on a recent trip to the 'valleys' of Wales near Merthyr (the car was locked!!) that the system was mainly running on VHF FM rather than DAB, but I do have the auto switch-over selected on the iDrive. Of course that does depend upon an equivalent VHF FM station being available - which there isn't for Planet Rock!

Was stuck with Radio 1 or 2 some of the time.

Yeah I always lose it going over the tops (M62 highest motorway in UK)

You don't get a very good standard radio reception cutting through the moors either.

It happens to me a lot around my home, where it's hilly, but not when I'm in and around work where it's flatter!
