DAB no signal

My radio does not pick up any signal for the DAB radio. VHF radio & dual view TV work fine, haven't tried the SAT NAV as I never use it (well out of date!) though the maps work ok.
I've tried searching but cannot find this particular fault.
Any ideas how to test the aerial or amplifier?

I assume you have tried an auto retune?
I often have to retune mine.

Have you installed a dash cam by any chance?

Hmmm, yes I do. I had a problem with my 2002 Rangie with very poor VHF reception caused by a dashcam in the rear window.
I have tried unplugging the dashcam (front screen, none in the back) but no difference unfortunately. Austin Champ - First car I owned in 1967 ETE167F

There is a well known issue with cabling (esp Dashcam) following the same path as DAB cabling - it kills the signal. Only way to prove this is to remove the dashcam cable - Power off will still leave the ability fo the cable to coal up the nearby signal.

I've disconnected the power to the dashcam at source, a USB power supply which I unplugged. It is just a 5v supply & runs up the drivers front pillar to top of the screen, not near the DAB aerial lead I don't think.
I've checked the power supply to the aerial amp & it is ok, 12v. Austin Champ - First car I owned in 1967 ETE167F

Did you get to the bottom of this? No DAB on mine either!

My dashcam wiring goes along the windscreen under the headlining, down the passenger a-pillar and into the fusebox behind the glovebox. The cable for the rear camera goes along the headlining and along the drivers side of the car and I have no issues with my DAB reception.

So to add a little intrigue, my battery was flat this morning. My fault as I’d left it unlocked for 4 days so it hasn’t shut down properly. Jump started it off the defender and DAB worked perfectly! However it then started to crackle out and now we’re back with no signal. So I’m wondering if it’s a voltage problem somewhere along the line

Any updates on this? I have the same issue on a 2011 TDV8 Vogue

TV and radio work fine, I can select and have tried all the different DAB channels and set to United kingdom but it won't pick any signal up even when searching.

No dash cam or anything. can anyone confirm what the DAB module looks like I can't easily see a module in the rear left.

Watching with interest, as I'm sure the DAB in my 2011 5.0 S/C used to be 100% solid anywhere, and has become a bit patchy/selective in the last year or so, but I thought maybe it was just me!

I doubt that your battery problem comes from not locking yor car, I never lock my car in my garage, even when I am on vacation for 2 weeks and my battery has never been flat.
Maybe this is related to the DAB problem? DAB sucks battery or weak battery no reception?
