The best alternative
I fitted a DAB head unit in my Saab 9-3 , the unit came with the standard " stick on " DAB aerial, as normal reception was hit and miss , so I purchased another which was amplified , but the reception was worse ,
So in search of a solution, I stumbled upon this , seeing as the Saab comes with a " shark fin aerial " as standard , this would make replacement easy ,
And it did , just unbolted the original , and popped in the new one , I ran a bead of silicon around the base for good measure ( though this comes with rubber O rings , I removed them and the plastic fitting on the base , and it just slotted straight in . And bolted it down !
There's 5 meters of co-Ax and DAB lead , but power lead was just 2 meters long , but I just extended that so power was picked up from the head unit .
Wires were run in head lining and down to head unit , took about 3 hours , all told , , minimal tools required , and the reception on both DAB and FM are a 100 % improved ,
I was sceptical at buying it But wonderfully surprised at the results .
In short the best alternative, to any DAB aerial upgrade .
