How vehicle radio works
FM reception
ODEEV068216NR
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This sig-
nal is then processed by the radio and
sent to your vehicle speakers.
However, in some cases the signal com-
ing to your vehicle may not be strong
and clear.
This can be due to factors, such as the
distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.
