Im getting a Blaupunkt Woodstock fitted tomorrow. The guy who's fitting it recomends that the DAB aerial is not fitted to the rear screen.

Anyone out there got theres fitted on the rear screen as i think it will look cr*p on the front.


Mods can you leave it here for a bit please.

harrymonk whats the reception on your DAB like with the aerial fitted on the rear. The engineer thats fitting the unit said that the FM aerial and heated screen would would interfere with the DAB and Not to fit it there.

Thanks in advance

Hot off the press is that we've today switched on Kirkton Mailer (for improved coverage in Perth) and
Manningtree (for coverage in Ipswich and Colchester area).

Does this help ?

The rear heated screen matrix will only interfere with the DAB when its switched on. (the heater that is )

Mine's fitted to my back screen (classic wagon) and its fine - I only noticed it once the weather started getting cold.

Let's face it - how often do you have the rear demister on? Not enough to warrant me moving the aerial anyway
