Brad1138 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 Hey Everyone, I need some help with my stereo. It is the factory unit with 6 stacker. The tape deck and the Cd works perfect. Although it gets almost no reception in both bands and all stations. It has a band expander installed. and i have taken the unit out and had a good look at the band expander everything looks in order. What do you think it would be thats going wrong? Any known problems or the best bet just taking to a specialist. Also on a side note, anyone with a 540i e34, what sort of gas milage are you getting with your a)long distance driving and round town driving. Thanks again for the help in advance, Brad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 the E34 doesnt havean eternal aerial(in case you havent noticed!)there is an aplifier "thingy" at the end of a coax cable near the rear window.I beleive this "box" gets its power from the stereo somehow .if the power isnt connected to the box you get virtually no signal for the radio..I am sure Jochen will fil in some details!
