I have a GS and also find the radio reception dodgy.

Had a call from my garage to ask if they can keep my baby in until Monday, it appears my spare key belongs to another car, so had to order new one which will have to be matched to my car. They have reloaded Satnav and claim it is now ok(we will see Monday) Radio, they say some progs on med. wave are not always very clear, I offered to show what good reception I get on my £6.99 radio, back to the workshop to look at ariel connections. They say red triangle is not supplied with car and they wont budge on the spare wheel!!

Can't speak for the Sat Nav in the FL2 ( didn't want to pay the premium) but in town they can really get confused when the sat signal bounces off buildings, some do better jobs than others ignoring large apparent changes in position. I don't think they get current speed data from the speedo , so that means it will use it's last known speed to effectively 'dead reckon' your position if it can't get enough signal for true updates. This means that you can easily get ahead of where the unit calculates you are. |

The factory fit SATNAV has a speed pickup from the transmission and a built in electronic compass to enble it to do DR fixing. Go into a multistorey car park or through a long tunnel and have the satnav on it's largest scale display and you will see the car icon keeps moving and will pickup up the satellite signals almost immediately after you get a clear satellite horizon.

Us country folks have yet to suss out these multistorey carparks m8, fields are much better carparks and nobody dings the side of your car! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Fair point but the cow poo must be a bit of a pain ? |

Depends what you use it for, personally I just drive over it or use a field where there is no livestock - a herd of cows rubbing on the sides of your car does even less good to it than cow poo |

David, did they correct the problem you had with condensation in the rear light?

My o/s rear light cluster also had condensation in it, a few hours after I collected my FL2 as new! I mentioned it to the sales guy at my dealer, who was surprised, but suggested it may have been caused by an over-enthusiastic use of their pressure washer, whilst preparing the car for me. |
