Re: DAB Antenna Help
Thanks guys much appreciated, the cables from the mirror disappear into the door so they are connected but I suppose the wire will terminate inside behind the door panel somewhere??
Great now I know what to order... Will I need to chop the end off the extension cable and rejoin inside the door??

Re: DAB Antenna Help
There should be three connections to your aerial, Dab/GPS and FM2,

Re: DAB Antenna Help
Ok thanks again, and for the reference thread, my cables are fed through already there's at least 3 of them and seem pretty tight fingers crossed they have a plug on the end somewhere... I am going to order all the parts anyway so when I get my door cards trimmed I will do the whole lot at the same time..
Cheers

Re: DAB Antenna Help
How did you get on with this ? Currently got a window mounted one which is awful?

Re: DAB Antenna Help
I've just bought a Alpine DAB, upgrading from Alpine FM. I was getting crap reception with FM, could barely get any stations.bigootang wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2014 11:14 pm Ive got an Alpine DAB system installed - I use a DAB aerial splitter which is powered by the electric aerial wire (blue/white) and this uses the standard aerial connection... Never had any signal loss issues and I've been pretty much everywhere with that set up.
Can you point me in the direction of the splitter you bought please?
