Really enjoy my car, but the radio reception is terrible.

My previous cars had no problem with the reception where I live, but now normal broadcasting is a nightmare. When the reception is almost gone it switches to online radio. If it would stay in online mode that would be fine, but it switches back and forth. This is really annoying because it buffers and it leaves out parts.

Is there a method to stay in online radio mode? I know you can also select online/internet radio in the pcm, but the dutch radio station I'm referring to isn't listed.

Here in the US, my Taycan's regular radio reception is pretty lousy too.

There is a radio setting under settings, that will make the change between online radio and normal radio. What happens if you untick that box? If you then search for the station in online radio it should stay on that station as long as you hve cellular coverage.

I am surprised at your statement that the radio station is not listed though. Is that as online station or as a radio station?
