I also cleaned up the under side of the wing and roughed the big silver spacer to try and ensure a good earth but no avail
It does pick up several dab stations using manual tuning but still shows the antenna error on screen 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid) 2002 90 TD5 Hardtop (Sully) Sold 1998 300TDi D1 (Billy) Sold |

You can’t remove the booster as this is what splits the signal on the naka ariel
I have powered on a separate ign live so shouldn’t be an issue It’s a brand new model radio only came out 2 weeks ago so I assume it’s the latest software Going to buy a cheap dab windscreen ariel from halfruads tomorrow and try that at least I’ll know if it’s ariel or hu 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid) 2002 90 TD5 Hardtop (Sully) Sold 1998 300TDi D1 (Billy) Sold |

My first naka antenna had a break in the cable so would not work
Tested to see if a current passed from one end to the other and it did not Brendan replaced it and the new one works fine Might be worth a check if not already done |

Have you tried this:
https://www.caravantalk.co.uk/community/to...nna-error/ This function I mentioned before, see if you can find it and turn it 'OFF'. Apparently a lot of the Pinoneer units can power their own branded aerial. If the aerial is externally powered the setting should be 'OFF'. It may be 'on' as standard out of the box, probably in the hope you buy a Pioneer DAB Aerial instead! Failing that it might be internal, thus contacting Pinoneer for a swap is the answer. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

It does say on in the settings but I can’t alter it??
Going to call the supplier in the morning Will also try running a current through although I would have thought it wouldn’t pick anything up if was broken??? 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid) 2002 90 TD5 Hardtop (Sully) Sold 1998 300TDi D1 (Billy) Sold |

Probably needs looking at then if that is the case, as it certainly should allow you to switch it on or off according to manuals.
What a pain.. Hope you can get it sorted out, I was after one of these at some point too but at the cost people paid to have these issues isn't inspiring. If you get a like for like replacement, definitely when fitting make sure the DAB box is fitted first before powering up and that, that setting is turned off before connecting the Nak aerial. Good luck.  ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

Excellent news. 👍🏻 One to remember for anyone else too with similar units.
I have ever had the chance to use DAB on mine yet, but I did try the FM quickly and could definitely tell a difference in that alone first try. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

Why did you need to get the HU out to do that? If you could kindly share, it may help others.

I've just fitted my Nakatanenga aerial and it is currently working on FM with my old head unit. Does anyone have any tips of where to piggy back off of for the power to the Naka booster box? I can then fit my new DAB head unit.
Cheers |

Thank you for your reply, is there anywhere I can get this (ie switched live) off the ISO plug rather than trying to get to the awkward ignition barrel switch? Rather than cutting the loom I wondered about getting a male to female ISO loom and cutting that? Just wondered what others had done.
