Troubleshooting
I have poor DAB reception If you are experiencing poor DAB reception,
it is possible that the FAKRA connector is connected to the wrong connection
in the car. The FAKRA connector color can vary depending on the vehicle
manufacturer, but it is usually black, grey, brown, or white. Additionally,
consider whether the DAB reception was poor with the original radio. If the
reception was already poor, it is more likely that the antenna itself is at
fault rather than the new radio or the antenna adapter.

The Fakra may be connected to the wrong connection in the car. The FAKRA
connector color can vary by vehicle manufacturer but is usually black, grey,
brown, or white. Was the DAB reception poor with the original radio? This
makes it more likely to be the antenna that is at fault rather than the new
radio or the antenna adapter.
