Poor Radio reception and fan speed?


Hi guys, had our Xtrail now for a couple of weeks. Have noticed a couple of nuiances though, the stereo reception is pretty crappy. The FM stations get a bit staticy anywhere round metro Sydney which I find strange. Do any of you guys suffer the same problem. Moved the antenna backwards and forwards with no success.

Also the fan speed for face and feet seems pretty weak for face. Change it to face only and its fine. Is this normal ?


Cheers!

Yep, I experienced that too and I have tried 2 nissan head-units. The radio reception is worse with the 6CD stacker of the Ti-Luxury. The ST head unit seemed better in terms of radio reception.

I have solved this problem by replacing the roof antenna altogether.

At 45 degrees in Sydney, the only way to get good amount of cold air and feel it is to have the fan set-up to "face" only. Any other setting and you'll be sweating LOL

The exy poor air-con has been complained about before. Nothing much we can do in this regard unfortunately. emoticon

Thanks guys. It makes sense that its the aerial thats the problem and not the deck. Thats a pretty swanky antenna Jal. Where did you pick that up from and how much?. Was it easy to install. You would think that Nissan would have sorted these issues out since the Exy has been round for a fair while now emoticon

Jalal is correct in that there are MANY of these on eBay.

Among the ones offered, some come with "interchangeable" sections, allowing you to vary the length of the antenna.

The longest one I've seen is about 11 inches (279 mm). I think the stock OEM one is about 6 - 7 inches.

Not sure if the extra length will improve reception or not. Another member (Dunoon) has tried the 11 inch one and may be able to comment on any changes in reception.

Good luck with it.

 I have been looking for this antenae/aerial on ebay and can't find it. Can you please point me in the right direction, product name, id.

 Out here in the sticks, reception is pretty poor, especially am.

 Thanks in advance

Re: Poor Radio reception and fan speed?


Glad to say ours (ST series 1) gives good reception (it is always on AM 774) - my passenger couldn't believe we were still listening to 774 without any difficulty nearly to Brisbane on our recent trip. In northern Victoria we used to have to change to the local FM station when we crossed gap hill in the commodore: now we can just leave it alone (most times). Those aerials look cool though.
As for the airconditioning - ours is always on face, and there does seem to be hardly any air if you do turn it to feet and face.
A packet of jubes in the glove box and jelly snakes in the centre console melted into blobs last week though; perhaps that's because it was 47 in the shade where we were on New Year's Eve.

Re: Poor Radio reception


I have never been satisfied with the radio reception in marginal areas. It is not as good as my old VS Calais or my Commodore ute.
With Roger's (Canadas FarEast) help I replaced the antenna, but sadly, any improvement was hard to notice. However, the new chrome antenna looks heaps better than the original.

I finally bought a Signal Amplifier from Super....p for $21.48, and fitted it.
Image

I connected the red wire to the red wire going into the cigarette lighter and the antenna cable into the back of the radio. The original antenna lead goes into this unit.

The new unit was mounted under the dash and can be switched on or off by pushing the red light/switch.
Image

I am not sure yet of any improvement as I have not been in any marginal areas to test it. However, it does not change the volume at all whether it is on or off.

I will give a further report when I know whether or not to leave it in or to remove it.

I replaced my standard aerial with a replacement whip from Aerpro. My good mates down at Autobarn Auburn helped. The model I got was for a Holden Barina. Note there are 2 types. A 6mm and a 5mm. the 5mm is the one you want. Cost $21.00

Reception is vastly better. Now all I need is some decent TV aerials.
