Hi All,

There was a discussion on the FB self help forum for Peugeot 1007 owners recently...

Someone said the standard radio fitted was mono
Someone else said stereo,mono,stereo,mono....

After a while he clarified,?and said certainly the UK
Models have CD Radios where the CD is stereo, but the tuner is mono.

Is this common?

Is it penny pinching?

Does it give a better S/N ratio?

Stereo car radios usually use stereo/mono blend on FM so as reception
worsens the stereo effect is reduced rather than getting hissy. In a
poor reception area the stereo FM would /sound/ mono which might be the
cause of the confusion.
