There is talk in the SMEG+ Map and Speed Camera Update Procedure thread about firmware updates for problems with the DAB radio. Possibly this is one of the effects that is fixed.
It's still a dealer job if it's under warranty though. Although the chances are small, if the job goes tits-up and you brick your radio doing it yourself that would be your (expensive) problem. Let them take the responsibility.
Not specifically, just general complaining about DAB and whether or not the problem had bee fixed. I didn't take a huge amount of notice as my radio complaint has always been the poor FM performance.
I don't think these radios are anything special, seems to me a stand alone radio always gives better results.
My FM is very slow to change using the RDS when you drive out of range.
Then of course I have the DAB cutting out completely whenever I select reverse gear.
DAB remains on during reversing manoeuvres until the reversing sensors kick in when it drops to a very low level. I'm wondering whether there's something about your reversing sensor setup that's prompting the problem.
With apologies, on mine you can see the signal strength meter (crude though it is) drop to zero when reverse is selected. This happens when engine not running, ignition on and reverse gear. The sensors are not active in that situation.
Idiot dealer says it's normal. To be honest I can't be bothered fighting it.
But apart from that, my DAB works well. There was a problem of it being mono not stereo, but that did get fixed with the software upgrade.
Hi, Did you ever sort that problem out as my 2008 is doing the same thing on long journeys, music slows and then suddenly returns to normal but gets worse the longer the journey.
Many thanks in advance.
Hi I'd be interested in this, I have recently bought a 2008 and went on the first longer journey and had this issue, but also with it speeding up, any pointers appreciated. Thank you
Did anyone resolve this? My 2008 does this intermittently. Is it a Peugeot issue? Or wider issue? Currently listening to Virgin radio station on DAB if that is relevant?
What version of firmware is fitted to the head end (radio)? There were a few revisions issued to sort out problems with the DAB.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
