    I have a 03 Corrolla and am currently having radio problems.
    The problem is that the radio doesn't automatically change the frequency to the area its in.
    The aerial on the roof does have a crack on the rubber part at the bottom, could this be causing it or have i more serious problems. I do alot of traveling so it gets very annoying.

    Not being smart, but is AF set on the radio? If not, it's the AF button on left of display. You'll see AF and REG come up when you're on 2FM.
    Also, is this recent or have it never changed frequency?
    My 02 and 06 Corolla's sometime dont pick strongest signal, but pressing the number of the radio station normally gets it to re-tune.
    My 02 car has a massive split on the aerial casing, and it still works fine.

    Check AF is showing on the display before replacing anything.

    Did you check if the AF (Auto Frequency) setting is on? This automatically selects the best frequency for a preset radio station. When set it usually shows "AF" on the lcd screen of the stereo.

    PS, you might also want to change from large bolded font, it doesn't go well on this site.

    Sorry bout the font.

    Ya AF is on and it still doesn't work.
    Often have to go to Donegal and it's so annoying having to change. for example 2fm is between 90.0 and 92.0 but in some areas it will only pick a faint signal,mind you today fm is stronger when i manualaly do this.

    It might not be your car at all and just a weak signal in certain areas.

    swap the aerial on your car with another of similar type, and check?
    although, you say there's a crack, is it on the part that's on the car, or the detachable part?

    The crack is on the detachable part.

    Think it's TP or TS, turn these off on the display of the radio and it will be fine, I think these only work in the UK/Europe, Ireland's radio network is too sheite for it to function correctly as intended.
