Honda Legend poor radio reception - what can I do?

I have one of the last Honda Legends brought into the UK and I love it.

My only gripe is that the reception on the radio is dreadful. I believe that the problem is the amplified aerial which decays over the years. Is this correct and if so, how difficult are they to replace? Could I update the aerial to a DAB one to get a clearer signal?

Many thanks allan

As the Legend is a pretty rare car in the UK, we can't find any reference to poor radio reception being a common issue. It's worth checking if the aerial connection in the rear of the in-dash stereo unit is correctly seated - it may have worked itself loose over the years. As for changing the aerial, it looks like the Legend has an integrated aerial that would likely be a pain to remove. We'd recommend tracking down an audio specialist if you're not confident.
