I'm looking for anyone with the McIntosh system fitted to their Legacy to see if they have the same trouble as I have - lousy reception and interference? :dunno:
As a jap import, it obviously had the lower FM waveband tuned rather than the higher 88.0 to 108.0 that we're used to in Ireland, so I got one of those FM band-extenders that ups the reception band from the jap range to our own. But the reception is absolutely crap, and when driving around I constantly get 'bleed' from local stations on top of the tuned station.
I'm sure this McIntosh system is good quality but I wonder is the problem with the wave-extender I got fitted or is it the fact there is no traditional aerial (antenna) on the car....
Result is, all I listen to is CD but I'm interested to know if anyone else has the same unit with or without similar hassle? :?
Thanks!
Kieran
