I say my 480 has no problems, but today I wanted to listen to 1215 and is was just buzzing. ive tried two different radios and its still buzzing. it doesnt do it on FM though,
what should I check?

Think you can buy some kind of surpressor kit from most stereo shops. Or maybe there is meant to be one on the coil?

it still does it with the engine off, but when i go outside the car and touch the aerial, it suddenly sounds alright. i take my hand off the aerial and its constant crackiling, and you cant hear the station.
might see if i can get some coax and replace the aerial wire, where does the wire run?

The aerial is earthed to the car where it goes throught the bodywork. maybe it might be worth checking that out? since it gets better when you turn yourself into an extra aerial!
