Default DAB with Bose

Hi Everyone

I have a standard DAB radio in my A8. I am not sure, because it is a 2005 car whether poor reception is due to the specification of the unit fitted, or the performance of the aerial, which I presume is within the shark fin on the roof.

In cities and populated areas it is pretty good, but as I live in the sticks and consequently make many rural and sparsely populated journeys it drops out for mile after mile

Can the unit be upgraded via VCDS or similar, can the aerial specification be improved or am I simply stuck with this, unless I replace or upgrade entirely
