Chris Chapman Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I have a 2012 Audi Q3 2.0 TDI S-tronic which I have owned for nearly 4 years. Just recently i have been losing the DAB radio stations. Initially this was intermittent, but is now completely lost. FM works fine as do all the other electrical/electronic devices. I tried restoring factory radio settings on the MMI set up, but that made no difference. Any help would be appreciated as I want to sell and buy a newer example. Sorry if this has come up before but couldn't trace anything when I did a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be the antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Chapman Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Many thanks for the advice. I took the car to my local Audi specialist. He ran a diagnostic and came up with the antenna lead to the amplifier. It sits alongside the wiring loom to the tailgate apparently. They need to remove the lead and measure it to ensure they get the correct one and reinstall. Going in next week, so fingers crossed.🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I suspected as much. Hopefully it won't be too expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Chapman Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 I had the aerial lead replaced in late July and DAB now works perfectly. Unfortunately I got the bill last week. The aerial lead cost £188 + vat and with labour the total was £428! 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
