Re: DAB antenna
I installed the Dab+ aerial today, ordered from carsystems.pl with wiring harness.
Just pulled the fakra connector of and put it in the back of the Kenwood, no problem.
Getting the side panel of and put it back is the harderst part
Dab receive is a bit better than the window sticky antenna's!

Re: DAB antenna
Did mine too - previously delayed due to bad weather - nothing worse than sitting in a fogged up car
I pulled DAB+ and FM off the new amplifier perfectly fine with the cables I bought (as shown previously in this thread)
Totally agree that the DAB reception is far better now than with the Kenwood window aerial... thank god I can now pull that unsightly thing off...

Re: DAB antenna
Would it be possible to instal the Dab amplifier on the left side of the vehicle too and feed the radio with both signals?

Re: DAB antenna
Possibly - is your reception sketchy? I think that's just DAB full stop...

Re: DAB antenna
Yes the Dab network isn't that good in my country. Im going to install a calearo 7677932 roof antenna.
Hopefully this makes some difference.

Re: DAB antenna
Just installed the Calearo 7677932, the signal is amazing compared to the OEM antenna.
I can defintely recommend everyone who lives in an area with bad reception to install this antenna.
I have only noticed 1 signal loss during driving through a tunnel during a 2h drive.
