Aerial Diversity

The E85 features aerial diversity for the higher grade radios. Aerial diversity comprises following components:

The aerial amplifier and aerial diversity are fitted in the rear left of the luggage compartment. The second FM aerial is located on the rear left in the bumper.



In the E85, 2 physical aerials are connected to the radio aerial diversity, i.e. the rod aerial and the aerial in the bumper. The aerial diversity function switches over to another aerial as soon as the system undershoots a defined threshold. Changeover takes place in such a way that no interruption can be heard. Depending on the reception situation, reception on both aerials simultaneously is also possible.
