Sorry, me being stupid!

I'm a bit concerned the aerial is going to be a bit of an eye sore stuck to the window. Is there a way it could perhaps be hidden behind the a pillar?

^^^^

Have a look through this thread, pic of the window mounted one.......

~~ Clicky here ~~

As mentioned in that thread, you can get an aerial that replaces your current roof mounted aerial (if you have one), expensive to buy and a fair bit of work to install too. The thread below is a guide on installing an RCD510 with DAB aerial and all. Happy reading....

And the roof mounted Baupunkt DAB Aerial.....

The windscreen ones are ok, I had the same AFAR one as Martin, reception was ok at best, but replaced it with a short whip roof mount aerial from a new polo with a nice long extension cable (about £15 off ebay) to the headunit. Reception is excellent with little drop off. It is a bit more expensive (about 3 or 4 times) but nothing in the window and far better signal an therefore sound  :happy2:

P.S - once you get the RCD get yourself a Bluetooth kit or it (5k0). Proper piece of plug and play kit  :drinking:

Not sure on the Part number, it's just a polo short whip with a normal base that has the fm and dab connectors. Got it from Eddie :)
