2011 VE SV6 II Commodore - Chlorophyll
I have just upgraded from a VE SV6 S1 to a VE SV6 S2.
I've found that the radio reception is very poor and scratchy in the new S2. Series 1 picked up all the radio stations in my area fine,
the Series 2 most stations are very scratchy reception except for 1 or 2 which are very close stations (within 5 - 10km away). Anyone else had problems with radio reception and what can I do to fix it?
I tried taking the antenna from my series 1 and swapping them over but made little difference.

Why would window tint affect it? They have the bee sting aerial on the roof..

Ive actually had really good reception from my VE with IQ... As in over 100km from the broadcast tower and being able to still hear the station clearly..
