Just buy a window screen mounted one off eBay for £15 and stick it under the dash. Hidden and works perfect I've never lost signal been in for 2 months now

Where under the dash did you put yours? I have had a dab window aerial kicking about for a while but it looks pretty awkawrd to fit. I dont like moving anymore trim than I have to - so if I could put it in underneath somewhere out of sight I would be well pleased.

You know the top tray above the heater vents? I just stuck it to the underside of that :) hidden and don't have to mess about routing the cable just plug it straight into your head unit. Also works perfect as it is near enough by the windscreen anyway!

Thanks ! Ill give it a go tomorrow and see what way it pans out :)

Done it today and works a treat. Even with the weather lashing and my location in the middle of nowhere, all stations are coming in fine !

Thanks again.

I might try this. It's currently hidden behind the end panel on the end of the passenger side dash.  I get quite a few stations but sometimes drops out / volume lowers.
