IF the aireal will unscrew in the Roof mount, remove it, clean the threads up of corrosion and if you can fit a LONGER aireal.

My Clarion unit would always loose chanel, RDS search, and pig about, I removed the arieal, and fitted a longer XM aireal and now the channel NEVER rds search's or goes off at all!!!

My existing aerial was really corroded where it screws into the base but with a pair of pliers it was eased loose. With the threads cleaned up there is a definite improvement in the radio reception. I recon a new aerial will do the trick though!

Just need that lead now! (hint hint)
