Can you boost the radio signal in a clio?

[Daz.]

I can't see why you can't but I can't seem to find any info on how you would do it..

One thing I've noticed on clio's os how poor the reception is - oem radios, newer radios, all sorts of aerials...

The work vans for example have fantastic radio reception and I've looked at it and theres nothing special about it at all - I even put my cd player in the van and it was really good...

So it must be the car at fault?

well, it's a renault :P

i had to replace the cable in my williams and tbh couldnt fault it at all!

Check your aerial connection mate, at both ends... if possible try and get a resistance reading through it. ;)

you can buy an in-line ampifier that boost the signal.

Bri - its not just this willy, it's been like this in every clio i've owned/driven

Maxiboiiiiii?!!! Have you got a link to anything? :D

TBH this is one of the most common problems I have had with all sorts of cars, and all my Renaults...even my brand new scooby had a radio reception problem...never bothered fixing them as I always listen to CD's or forced to listen to the constant yapping from whatever girl I had in the car at the time.

^^^ very true its just sometimes its nice to listen to the radio and its a bit unfair you have to listen to it so poorly especially when you can spend so much money on a headunit and only use half of its features

That bottom one looks ok - do you think you could wire into the stereo power feed or should I just use the fag lighter hmm decisions
