Bit of an Update
The Radio reception is Spot on. No different (well not sat outside my flat) to the OEM antenna
Here are a couple of daylight pics further back

Don't shoot the messenger :signLOL:. Its what i was told when i rang up to order the part :happy2:

so if i have the intire wiring from a car with sat nav fitted, i just have to do some sherlock and free the proper wires?? :jumping:
I'm glad i ought both the wiring loom for engine and cabin, at the time i i wasn't sure that i had any use for it, but now it'll come in handy :grin:
vRS Carl:
Well i seem to have been a bit premature on the signal quality of the Shark Fin
It seems as soon as i leave my drive it no longer works.
Going to ensure i connected it up properly then will have to take apart and see if i can swap gubbins over from old to new
Alternatively any idea if you can buy a signal booster?
Carl :happy2:
