Disappearing DAB

Strange one this!!

First thing in the morning, a few times over the last couple of months, there has been "no reception" on my DAB radio (ie no channels whatsoever). And then after a short while it will spring in to life (sometimes after cycling through the other functions).

However, this morning it has stopped altogether!! no amount of cycling through Radio, TV etc managed to bring it to life. Tried to do a Channel List and nothing was shown and also tried Ensemble with no effect.

The DAB has had the software upgrade to solve the clash with the EPG problem.

Any ideas? or am I looking at a visit to the Dealers to try and explain it to them (not looking forward to that).

Thanks guys. MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE

If I'm honest, I don't think the DAB system in the RRS is all that good. I had constant problems with mine and in the end just listened to FM. The local dealer to me didn't really seem interested and said that all the RRS's with DAB were the same and it must have been the reception.
Since getting my BM, I listen to everything on DAB and have had one loss of reception that I recall, so it points to the LR tech being of low quality and only able to pick up a signal if you are next to the transmitter.

That said - the fact you have had yours, then lost it does seem a little weird, but I wouldn't get your hopes too high with the dealer being able to resolve it Wink ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Yes, it's very strange.........I'm sort of hoping that it stays off so that I can take it to the Dealer and show them. But knowing how these things work I bet it will be fine when I get back to the station tonight. MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE

Hi Stevo,

I have been using DAB for over a year with no drop offs at all. Then just before Christmas I have had so poor reception that I have to switch to FM. I live in Aberdeenshire, and put it down to transmission problems rather than my receiver.
However my car was in for a service mid December but I don't think any software update was done, just wondering now! MY 2014 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic
