Have you switched the aeriel 'power on' option in the menus? That's about 99% the cause of it.
Yes it does work with a Modifry. Only the twig & the decoder in the radio are any different.

Hi Nick and thanks for the reply - I could't find that option on the menu (unless I've missed it..!) but I'll check again to see if it is that as that would be the quickest fix! Time to find the manual... I'll post if there is that option and it works!

lol - needs must sometimes!
I can't find anything in the manual about power for the aerial so not sure if it's that as I have provided power to the aerial using the 12v power.... I think it might be a duff aerial so I will take it back to Halfrauds and see if they can help/test. Fingers crossed and I will let you know how it goes!
Thanks again for the help gents

Oh, in which case, get one on the rear wing (Bloomice) like mine. Powered off the supply to the old one (you'll need to JB Weld in a body washer to make the hole round!) and you'll get 200% better reception.
Screen twigs don't work at all in Hertford.

I believe the pioneer doesn't supply aerial power.
You could be having mick's issue, ie shat signal?

Murphy's Law? Racist...
Indeed - I don't recall any of them finding any signal in the drive; take them to the highest point near Ware and they load all the multiplexed stations.
You can then receive the stations in a closed garage. Weird how it works.

Hi. I've spotted this conversation as I just bought the DEH-X8500DAB this week. I've installed the unit and got the autoleads PC9-X61 adapter to link the audio controls to the steering wheel buttons.
I haven't actually fixed the interior DAB aerial in place yet so not able to comment on your issues with that just yet. I'm doing a bit at a time and currently trying to work out how to get the mute button to work. There is a brown lead with bullet connector coming from the relay module of the PC9-X61 connector but I can't work out where it is supposed to connect to the head unit. Do you guys have mute working?
