Having suffered poor radio reception in my Fiat 500, I investigate and fix the problem, ultimately with a new aerial base and mast.

Thanks for this! My wife’s fiat 500 radio stopped tuning in and your video has saved me a lot of hassle trying to solve it! 👍👍👍

Hi there. I've just successfully replaced the aerial base (and antenna) on our 2012 Fiat 500 and thanks to your video the job was an absolute breeze. Thank you.

Hi, how did you reattach the base to the car, do you remove the sliver bolt and cage beforehand and then pop the base on the car and tighten up from below? If so it's a little fiddly, there is also a black plastic clip which keeps falling off when I go to do this.

Will this procedure work on the fiat bravo. Thank you.

I have no personal experience of the Brava. From what I can see it too uses a base, although of different design, the principle should be the same I would imagine.

Hi, what year is this fiat 500 please? I need to replace my base and aerial also. Ours is a 2012 model, looks like the same aerial and base i think. I see some of the later models have slightly different aerials.

It's a 62 plate (early 2013). Should be the same I think.
