Dab Aerial

[Espn]

I have a Sony DAB Radio (I know,its not fantastic) the DAB reception on it is very erratic. At the moment I have the windscreen mount, would it be better to get an actual aerial? And can I fit it into where the current Radio aerial is??

The windscreen stick on jobs are fankly crap. The best ariels for DAB are surface mounted. However, I didn't want to start drilling holes in my bodywork (and I am too cheap to get one professionally fitted) so I got a window mounted one which sticks on the outside (in the corner of the rear screen) with a receiver that sticks on the inside. It works very well - I get a few drop outs in where I am (sussex) but it's much better than the old windscreen one I had...

Got mine from dabonwheels.co.uk - they're very good. This is the one I have:

but its worth having a look at their whole range...

Fixed aerials are the way forward, weather glass or body mounted.

The latter being the most efficient type in my experience

Mine is stuck on front windscreen and never has a no problem with the reception in the South east even with French interference also as said before mine is a EZI-DAB by alpine

I had a sony DAB unit fitted on my old BMW Z3, I found the windscreen aerial not very good, swapped it for a body mounted type and worked perfectly.

Most recently a good friend of mine fitted a Kenwood DAB Headunit to his vectra C

And again the windscreen aerial is failing miserably.
