Confirmed the unit was receiving 12v and then replaced the whole unit (including aerial base and antenna rod and amplifier). Tested by disconnecting bumper aerial and didn't lose fm reception! :D bliss!
So radio guru :bow: :bow:
How much was whole unit and where does it sit, is it the same on the e85 ??
