What's this device on my windscreen

Post by JPH77 »

Any idea what this is? More British Gas tech or is it even my aerial? 🤔😊

Does look like the screen mount DAB antenna but there doesn't appear to be an antenna, just the main box. The Screen mounted DAB antennas usually have a clear film with metal tracks in.

I think it does have what you describe... Probably just a shitty photo!

Or my eyesight.
On closer inspection it does have the "clear" strip.

Looks identical to a replacement aerial I had for a Pure Highway DAB radio.
Wasn’t as good as the original one though
