Retrofitting RCD510 with DAB - Antenna Help

[AnSGTI]

Apologies if this is something that's been asked before but I have searched and can't find an answer.....

I've bought an RCD510 with DAB, but obviously I need a DAB aerial/antenna. What have other people done? Can I just buy any DAB aerial and the socket will fit the back of the RCD510?

Thanks!

Thanks, there's quite a choice do you know which one you went for? I think I need to make sure it has fakra connector I think?

I was looking at this on the site you provided:

Kenwood DAB A1 internal glass mount DAB car aerial

I went with this one

as they rated it as their best windscreen one they tested. Fitted it to RCD510 DAB as well. It's my first venture into DAB so don't know how good/bad it is really. My mate recons he gets better signal coverage from a factory fitted roof ariel, so you could look into that, but it'll cost over £100ish...

Eddie-NL does a line in roof aerials (Sharkfin) solves the DAB (complete other connections options Nav,GPS etc)

So I fitted my RCD 510 with DAB and I bought this antenna:

It has an SMB (female) connector but the RCD has a Fakra type connector. Can I get an adapter or should I get another antenna?

Thanks,
