| Briskodian | Re: Octavia 2 audience bad FM receive I already had my car at my dealer. He replaced my radio with new one and the situation was the same. Is possible that I have bad antenna? Trdonja |

| Re: Octavia 2 audience bad FM receive Very likely - I believe the antenna is powered (active). It gets a 12Volt supply from the original Skoda radio. The antenna has a signal booster built in to its base. If the built-in antenna booster is not working you would get poor FM reception and almost no AM reception. If you have the original Skoda radio your dealer would need to check the antenna wiring perhaps replace the antenna. Hope this helps you, Bas

| Briskodian | Re: Octavia 2 audience bad FM receive Problem with receive is only when I am driving around. When I stop the car radio receive pretty good. I also compare my radio with radio in Golf 5. Radio in Golf receive very good also when I am driving around. Any solutions? Thank you. Bye Trdonja |

| Re: Octavia 2 audience bad FM receive Press and hold the menu button when in FM and you will see infomation about the station, including signal strength. You may need an FM booster
