It's a blaupunkt (spelling) and the car itself has, I think, the aerial built in to the rear window.Sitting in the airport the other day with a guy washing his windows beside me, every time he want near the back of my yoke it lost the signal., I'm talking RTE 1…

The built in aerials are a disaster as far as I'm concerned, my M5 has one and the radio is hopeless too and I've tried everything, I end up listening to CD's all the time.
