Any idea why me 54 reg vogue gets crap radio reception? Could it be the ariel in the windows?

Has someone fiddled in the boot with aftermarket amps or crap? You have a "Diversity" antenna (ie 2) which means if 1 is unplugged everything goes hideously wrong. I'm always surprised how bad reception is in any other car I drive so I don't think this is a general RR prob.

have you got tints?.....i've been told that if you have the incorrect type of tinted window film fitted that your radio/gps reception will suffer. ... - .- -.

Not GPS - at least not in a FFRR anyway. The GPS antenna is under the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch.

Starting in 2005 the Range Rover began to come equipped with a GPS shark fin antenna which worked with the new updated GPS system it was outfitted with.

Mmm, ya. Wasn't thinking when answering or thinking of my RR (thinking only of myself again. ).

Tints should not make any differance, as my rear side windows are completely covered in a solid yellow sign and it does not meess with my radio.

thats what i thought mr B , but i've just booked mine in for tinting and the 'tinter' is adamant that i need carbon tint film cos any other will affect the radio and central locking.... ... - .- -.

ok, looked into my problem with my tinter man wanting to fit carbon tinted film rather than just normal metal based film. he says my gps radio and ?central locking will be affected ..i have two modules feeding the wire elements in the window marked XUO 000040 and XUO 000051b and according to the interweb these are tv amplifiers which if the non carbon film does reduce the signal ,i'm not worried about because my tv is analogue and analogue is being phased out and i cant justify £300 for a digital unit. so can someone please confirm that the black fin on the roof is for gps AND radio reception... ... - .- -.

Well to put a spanner in the works I thought the roof finn was phone and GPS (although I think I must be the only person using the phone cradle) 2008 MY Supercharged

just read something that says what you do axle..the fin is for the phone and the radio aerial is in the rear screen with a ?diversity aerial on the osr window..now wonder where the gps antenna is.. ... - .- -.
