Anyone ever fitted a dab stereo and ariel?

Ive decided its time for the original head unit to get taken out. looking to fit a double din with touchscreen, bluetooth and DAB preferably.

 

only thing is, you normally need a different style of ariel for dab, so was wondering if anyone has successfully fitted a dab radio to a 350.

 

thanks.

I've got one of these glass mount top centre of my windscreen http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_DEGA-T4002_telescopic_glass_mount_DAB_car_aerial.html this is the easy install.

 

If you want a better signal then go for converter/body mount type further down the page. I don't listen to much music in the Zed so went for the easier option, it's good where the DAB signal is good.

I'm just about to fit a DAB stereo in the Scooby and I'm currently looking at aerial options. Has anyone tried one of these splitters?

I tried one. Didnt work in the Z. I think maybe because of the FM amp used in the Z.

 

Tbh, I tried glass, splitter etc and couldnt get a reliable signal until I went for a proper body mount.

I lost FM which doesnt bother me but you can get combined FM and DAB body mount ones

Out of interest, on a scale of 1 to 10 how do you rate the body mount?

10 out of 10 for me.

Have never had any burble or signal loss. Drove from Chester to Anglesey the other weekend and kept signal all the way.

This is the aerial I have.

also, anyone got a wiring diagram for the bose sub? Trying to figure out what each cable is. there is a 24pin plug and an 8 pin plug. tried scanning the forums and search engines but no-one seems to have a clear cut answer!
