My car is in for its service and sorting a few bits and bobs before the warranty expires and I have a freelander as a loner. The DAB reception is way better than mine. There are a couple of spots where mine drops out near a big hill but the freelander does not. Is there any way to boost DAB reception or is it just a case of newer tech in the freelander performing better ? 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

i suspect its the newer system.....

It might be worth considering an external DAB antenna? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Our 12MY FF has been back to the dealers on several occasions to try and sort out the DAB without much success, they tell me it's down to living in a bad DAB area, complete b s as far as I am concerned as the RRS system works fine, I have given up on it to be honest. I think Stan is correct, the newer system works better. 12MY Black FF VSE

My DAB has started dropping out on a regular route. It never used to do it. Very odd.

Hmm might take a look at dab antennas I assume our stock antenna is in the side glass with the fm one ? 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

i think the radio antennas are located in the near side side window and the tailgate window and are a diversity type..i cant see how you would connect an afternarket antenna to these..
