Poor FM radio reception 2016 CX5
« on: April 27, 2017, 08:06:37 pm »
Does anybody else have poor radio reception on their CX5? I have the Bose system and I constantly loose the surround sound reception, even in wide open areas. I notice it when I pass a lorry and go under road bridges and it driving me mad. The car is at the dealer's tomorrow for them to take a look. The mzd is already upto date.
I would be interested if anybody else has had this as the Bose system was one of the main points in choosing this level of trim.

I normally use the DAB stations, but one local station is only available on FM so use occasionally for traffic reports.

Can't remember any reception issues but sound quality isn't good.

Well the Mazda dealer couldn't find anything wrong and now it's in the hands of Mazda technical. I'm thinking though that if this is a one off because there isn't already a thread for this then it's got to be a component failure/misfunction. Well we'll have to wait and see if anything comes of it.
DAB for me doesn't have the same quality as FM and if my situation with the radio is the norm then that's a pretty bad show from Mazda.
