I have been wondering if anyone else has problems getting a clear radio reception?
I´m not sure if the antenna/radio has a defect or if it's just not that god? My old Golf with a JVC radio, did not have any problems receiving in the same area...
Is there any settings on the radio that could change the signal rate or something....
I'm missing a Danish or English owners manual, as I imported the car from Germany.
Anyone know a place to download the manuals?
I have the same problem as you with the radio reception. Worked perfectly in the same area with the radio in my Skoda. Will check with my dealer and see what he thinks.
if you just mean listening to the radio thru a smart phone like the iphone, i listen to the radio through mine, but it only works well if youre in 3g or wireless signal, and dont think it would work through your phone into the car...
An app like shoutcast can stream live radio from the internet and probably play most of the DAB/DAB+ stations you can hear in England, where DAB is a big thing. The smart phone needs to get its power from, the car and you have to pay for a lot of data download.
Same problem - brand new car. Very poor radio reception compared to other radios. Apart from that, the sound skips on some stations just like when a CD skips.
VW service doesn't see the problem and they think the reception strength is fine.

I have the same problem. I suspect that the poor radio reception is because of the AF (alternate frequency) function of the radio. The AF function checks for stronger frequencies of the same station and sometimes even tries to switch to the alternate frequency, which sounds like poor reception.
In my previous radio I could disable the AF function, but in my RCD215 the AF cannot be turned off. The manual says that in some versions of RDS215 the RDS and the AF appears in the settings menu and they can be turned off.
Does anyone know if I could somehow put the RDS and the AF options into the settings menu of my RDS215? Software upgrade? Some trick? Cheat code?
I had a polo as a loan car last week whilst Golf was in for cambelt. The radio had poor reception in that compared to Golf, wonder if it was same radio? If so must just be the actual quality of the lower spec radios
Yes, the sound quaity is really good, but I have reception problems in those streets where I have no problem at all with a much cheaper radio in another car.

Hello,
I am going to service my car at the weekend and want to clean out leaves etc from the plenum chamber.
someone previously posted a really helpful diagram and set of instructions explaining how to remove the plastic cover and clean this out thoroughly.
I’ve done a search but can’t find...
Hello peeps
Just bought our first up today and can't for the life of me figure our how to get any sound on the stereo ??
Even removed the 'maps and more' dashtop screen and still nothing ??
Can't find a mute button
Any ideas ?
Do you think this is a fault or just an incorrect setting ...
Is there a list of known problems anywhere?
As they age, we should get some idea of the weak spots in these cars.
My own one (2013 Move Up! / 55,000 miles) had corrosion in the rear wiring harness.
Other than that, nothing has gone wrong.
Has anybody changed their control arms? I have a 2012 Up! that needs new control arm bushes, and since I can buy control arms with bushes included, I thought that would be the easiest route. I'm working on the car in a communal carpark, on gravel! Any pointers would be gratefully received.
