Roof Fin

What's in the Fin on the roof of a 2015/16 D4 HSE Lux/Landmark?

I thought on the D3 it became redundant when Bluetooth replaced phone kits, but am probably wrong.

i need to know what's in there so I know what it's going to upset if I put a roof rack over it.

Thanks

I have the Expo rack on my D4 and the only thing that does not work is the stop/start. It is no great loss and probably not connected to the fin guts anyway.

Thanks all, that's good to know.

My D3 HSE, with all the toys available at the time, hasn't got a fin, just a small blanking plate, so I was wondering what could be in the D4 one.

But of course my D3 HSE doesn't have DAB.
It's not something I'd want to upset with a roof rack, as I'm looking forward to having Planet Rock available.

On the D3 I thought it was the GPS aerial.

My D3 HSE has GPS but no fin.

I believe the GPS antenna is in the top of the high level brake light housing.

Can anyone relate any experiance with a Roof Rack interfering with DAB reception on a D4?

I'm specifically thinking of a rack with an Aluminium floor covering, or partly covering, the fin.

I'm happy to put a cut-out in, but would want it to be as small as possible.

Thanks
