Have to show someone my new toy. Showed the wife last night and all I got back was "thats nice dear".



Ended up putting the DAB aerial on the front screen in the end. I spoke to a few people and they said that the FM aerial and heated screen could interfere with the DAB reception.



I fitted the unit along side the bloke from Hafrauds. Dead easy to fit. Give me a shout if you need any advice.

Pics aren't working mate

Congrats on the install tho. And what would you expect from the wife? As long as it keeps you quiet, she'll be happy

 

Can anyone else see the pictures????

Tony

 

Yes I can see them.

Any chance of a better shot of the aeriel ?

Was thinking about one of these myself (at staff discount ) but wasn't sure about where to put the aerial.

 

I can see the pics to.

 

Scratch

Heres some pictures inside and out. However, I aint no "David Bailey" so the pictures are pretty Sh*t.

Cor it's a fair size then !

I did think about (as an alternative) the body mounted aeriel. they do one rather like the Golf GTi's had a few years ago, swept back. I though this would look OK positioned on the roof towards the back, although, I'm not sure I'm brave enough to cut the hole

 

Nicely done - I can see 'em now

 

Got your specs on now ?

I've got one of the Golf style beesting aerials fitted in the roof. I tried the glass mount in about 3 different locations in the rear screen with no success so gave up.

I wanted the beesting at the back, Golf style, but that meant taking the roof lining out. The installers convinced me fitting it at the front, using the interior light hole, would be a million times easier and less risk of damaging the roof lining. So I did.

The only problem is that the roof here is curving down so the aerial ends up more vertical than I would have liked. But apart from this it is OK to look at and the reception is excellent.

 

I have a beesting aerial fitted in the rear of the roof on my MY00 - think it looks quite good. Local ICE shop fitted it (yes they did have to drop the roof-lining, but you'd never know).
