Hi again

My FM reception seems to have gone pretty poor, every merc I've had with the 2005-2010 era audio system the FM radio has been really good, loads of lovely radio stations. I'm sure this R230 was great too when I bought it a few years ago but it seems pretty poor now, I get stations but very few beyond the stronger BBc ones.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks :¬)

Fuse to the tuner amp,
the amp itself,
if the co ax connects to a screen via a stick on pad that has likely come off and needs pushing back on.

Scratch the fuse to the amp suggestion, that should be the blue wire out from the HU, 12 volts when switched on.
If you have easy access to the amp I would suggest checking for 12 volts with the HU on.
