Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster (and LR4 owner). I am having an issue where the radio doesn't work in my 2011 LR4 HSE. It appears that the stereo otherwise works, like with a bluetooth phone call. Maybe it is something to do with the antenna? The used car dealer / European specialist I bought it from said it was a blown fuse, and sent me a video of it working before I wired funds to complete the sale. They are willing to look at it again for me, but they are an hour away. I did search on this topic but it seemed inconclusive, so thought it would see if anyone else had any ideas. When the radio WAS working, I was unable to select HD Radio, not sure if that helps. Thanks!

Try a few restarts to see if it returns. Could be a blown fuse again. Any water marks on the cargo area headliner near the antenna? My antenna was leaking and had to be replaced, but the radio still worked.

Could also be a weak battery. If the battery gets weak, all sorts of odd things start happening. (Military time format on the clock, seat memory lost, random warning lights)

No water marks or dampness and we have had a lot of rain the past couple days. I am taking it to North Texas British for a post purchase inspection next Thursday. Hoping it is just the battery. Also next week my cable will arrive for my Bovee so I can see if the stereo works using that.
