Wheres the DAB aerial?? and what wires does it have?

**merikiito** · 6th March 2008, 20:21

Right have fitted my CDC 40 Opera, worked out were all the wires have to be hard wired for the Dab unit now all that is missing is the Dab aerial. I have accounted for all the wires coming from the box and it only leaves the aerial lead which I assume goes to the dab aerial where ever that would have been fitted in the car.

Now can I buy the aerial and lead from VX?
Do I need to replace my original aerial or base?
Is there only one lead from the Dab aerial?

Or in other words anyone know anything about the Dab aerial and fittings?

Cheers

The DAB aerial is a combined standard aerial and DAB unit, and has a much bigger base (with a bulge at the front).

I don't know if its a single lead or an additional lead to the standard aerial I'm afraid.

You've taken far too much of your car apart!

Handy to know though!
