Route for an external aerial into car

Anyone got any ideas?

i live in a terrible reception area for DAB, and have bought a DAB unit, but ideally need an external aerial.

Any tips on how to get the cable from the outside to the inside?

Cheers Thumbs Up

well if you have a shark fin ant already, you could remove it and fit it there, or at least in the metal under where it would be.

Can't you stick an ant onto the inside of the front or side windows?

Good idea-I dont have a shark fin but will see what is there.

The BAD thing will come with an internal aerial, but I have heard that you get better reception with an external.

Many people have run the cable down through the tailgate.

Are there not air vents behind the rear lights you can get through?

Hi,i tried aerial on the inside and found it to be very poor. I didnt want the hassle of roof mounted so went for this Kinetic DEGA-T4002 telescopic DAB car aerial.......it is an external through glass aerial,i placed mine on the rear drivers side glass and havent looked back.Excellent reception,as good as our 18 plate AMG merc,and the fitting/wiring was an absolute breeze.
I highly recommend it from DabWheels
regards
