MAX-BT 390U

[david171186]

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD FITTED IN MY CAR A SONY XPLOYD MAX-BT390

THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT THAT EVERYTIME I TRY AND TUNE IN A RADIO STATION IT ONLY SEEMS TO GO TO ONE STATION, WHEN I TRY TO GO PAST THAT STAION IT JUST GOES BACK TO THE SAME STATION.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO?

THANK YOU

Hi david171186,

Difficult to say without knowing what car you have, but this sounds like an aerial signal problem to me, and only the strongest station in your area is being picked up.  The sort of things to check would be:

Make sure the aerial is securely plugged in to the rear of the unit.

Some cars have amplified aerials which don't receive a very good signal unless they are connected to power from the car (or from the Sony unit itself using the connection that would more commonly be used to activate an electric telescopic type aerial).

Make sure that the aerial is not shorting out (there should be no connection between the outer and centre connnection of the aerial plug if you test it (when temporarily removed from the back of the radio to test).

If you're not sure how to do these things yourself, I'd always recommend going to a local car radio specialist shop.

Hope this helps.
