Go to the next step.
11
•  Compare reception with other audio unit on same model (model/unit) under same problem conditions.
•  Is reception equivalent between customer’s unit and compared unit?
Note
•  Due to following differences, you may feel difference in reception efficiency.
(Vehicle side factor)
―  Antenna installation location, height, feeder wiring routing, optional electrical equipment
(Audio unit factor)
―  Volume concern type: It decreases change of volume when signals become weak. (Noise is easy to be conspicuous)
―  Noise decrease type: It decreases volume when signals become weak, so that noise is not conspicuous.
Yes
The system is normal.
(It is caused by electronic jamming from outside, or inferior broadcasting station signal condition.)
No
Replace audio unit.
