Title: No Aerial!!.. no what??
Post by: Jim_rx7 on May 30, 2007, 11:14:16 AM
The previous cars owner removed the aerial and smoothed it over. Thus resulting in my not being able to pickup any radio stations... none! lol.

Now, I don\'t want another great whopping aerial slapped on the car, but does anyone have any advice as to what I could do?

I\'ve seen electric aerials in my work that sit on the inside of the rear windscreen. Obviously, then wired upto the stereo.

I could do this easily, but my question is.... are they any good?

Get a sony DAB radio, stick the ariel in the boot window, you may need a cable extension. I\'ve got one in the 1st gen and the sound quality is fab. Plus no need for the old manky ariel unless you don\'t have a dab signal. Plus loads more channels :D

lol, No get a DAB sony and the internal DAB ariel comes with it. The FTO had the ariel built into the back window and needed a power source.
