The dealer installed a bandwidth expander on mine before I bought the van. With the expander it still didn't go high enough to pick up radio 4. So I chucked it and put in a new CD/radio.

As for the Aldi stereo, in next week - http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/of ... z_src=main
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
