Thanks for the feedback. The car was a liaison vehicle, not a panda or persuit vehicle, so the changes are minimal (handsfree kit is the only obvious thing, now removed). But as you say, being ex-fuzz, god only knows what nastiness lies underneath!

I've dropped the seller of the antenna a line to see what he says. I'll buy it in and give it a go -- if I get stuck, I'll pass the mess over to a qualified pro and/or ask questions on t'internet :)

Cheers.

An external DAB specific aerial, mounted as high as possible is the best option. The glass mounted JVC HAL4 is easy to fit and works well.

Most DAB car radios have both FM and DAB aerial inputs, so use the existing FM aerial and your new DAB aerial.

I've tried FM/DAB aerials with splitters and they're poor.

All the best.

The glass mounted one isn't as good as a proper aerial but it's less faffy to fix up! Agreed - the splitters are pants.

Thanks for all the feedback.

To clarify I should point out that it's a roof-mounted DAB/FM aerial I'm talking about here, with separate FM and DAB leads at the antenna itself -- not a splitter further down (which is what I currently have and which doesn't work, even though it was a good solution on the Focus).

The windscreen is heated so a glass-mount antenna is out.

Are we saying then that these dual-purpose antennas are no good (like ebay auctions 271022248385 or 380443375072)?
