Pioneer AN-DAB1 Glass Mount DAB Digital Car Radio Aerial Antenna

Works perfectly

Excellent dab aerial, works perfectly and only looses signal through tunnels (to be expected) but has never lost a signal whilst on the road, crystal clear reception and picks up a huge amount of stations.

I replaced the original Ford dab radio in my 2018 transit connect van with a pioneer double din dab headunit, the original Ford dab radio was awful, constantly loosing signal completely or floating between dab and fm which made a noticeable difference in sound quality so it was annoying to listen to, this dab aerial along with the pioneer unit works a gem in comparison so highly recommended.

I would advise filing away the paint on the inside of the A pillar on your car or van to apply the grounding strip on the dab aerial to though, it doesn’t say you have to do this in the instructions but I believe it will provide a much solid ground if it’s applied to bare metal rather than paint thus providing a better signal, it’s certainly worked well for me.Read full review

No better than cheap chinese

Bought this product, absolutely NO instructions whatsoever. Sure you can google but you get assorted installation instructions, some say sand paint down to metal, some say no need. Not helpful after fitted as it won't restick.. despite the description, I'd be very surprised if they're as 'superior' as the listing states. I can only get 2 stations after fitting, radio 1 (which I hate) and radio Norfolk (fine if you're in your 60s) can't recommend at all.Read full review

Excellent

Easy to install, used this aerial on a Pioneer Avic-f80 Dab/Satnav headunit.
Good reception while on the move.
Some advice before removing the film from the self adhesive fixing, make sure you check and re-check the positioning of the Dab aerial as once this is fixed to the inside of the windscreen you cannot simply remove it for re-positioning, it sticks fast to the windscreen, a friend warned me before I fitted mine as he damaged his Dab aerial trying to remove it for re- positioning.
All in all, a good quality product easy to follow instructions, many thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Read full review

Great, cheap DAB aerial!

My father had bought another type of DAB aerial, however the signal which it receives was rather rubbish so, I've had a DAB head unit in my car for about 5 months but never bought the aerial as I was dubious to whether it would work. However the aerial gets a very good signal on all of the channels the UK DAB website says I should get. The only downside is it can looks unpleasant if you're looking directly at it, however on a day to day basis, you'll not even notice it.Read full review

Works much better than expected. really good

Outside my house I've gone from picking up 2 or 3 stations in good weather to picking up 55!. Old aerial was a roof mounted one. It has lost ability over time BUT never ever picked up this many stations even in town.
This is very easy to install just make sure the copper area is on metal, painted metal is fine so no need to sand it down. I tried it out not on metal and picked up nothing at all, once I'd stuck it onto the metal I got 55 stations which is amazing. I'm the town's I get over 60 stations and this aerial holds a station with much less breaking up.
Before you stick it on be careful, I had selected where I wanted it BUT when I replaced the pillar trim it interfered with the aerial, luckily I hadn't tried yet to stick it down. Once you do stick it down hold your hand firmly on top. I do this a lot with stuck on things. The heat from your hand will transfer through to the glue and soften it slightly so it can then get a better bond. Shouldn't fall off then.
£10 well spent. My old DAB aerial on the roof was £30 but never, even at its best anywhere near as good as this cheap bargain.Read full review

Poor performance

Bought a good quality Pioneer dab radio for my narrow boat & to go with it added this dab Ariel.
Radio powers up & works great with music library on my iPhone but will not lock on to any digital radio station for more than a few seconds.
It’s nothing to do with the location as my portable dab radio works great & my neighbour has the same model Pioneer dab radio with no signal issues. In my opinion this dab Ariel doesn’t work as advertised .Read full review

Would recommend

Lovely product, plenty of wire, easy to fit. I gave four stars because as it stands I only get one or two radio stations but im putting that down to where I live! Still two more than I had before!

Good product if the application is suitable

Needs to be fitted carefully. Keypoint is to ensure a good contact to the vehicle ground. I ran a separate wire from the sun-visor mounting screws to the copper foil. The reception is then acceptable, although don't expect anything as good as provided by an antenna or OE fitment.Read full review

Perfect!

I needed a DAB car aerial for my Pioneer head unit, so it was a no brainier really. Delighted with it and it works well. Highly recommended.

Works ok

We have fitted this high on the screen of our motorhome, it picks up reception in good areas but often looses reception in more remote places where car radios are still getting channels. I have earthed the aerial because the motorhome is fibreglass. So it is a bit disappointing.Read full review
