Dab aerial location

Evening all,

I am in the process of upgrading my standard Landrover sound system. due to time and other things I will be doing a bit at a time.

I have just purchased a fancy kenwood head unit (bt48 dab) fantastic bit of kit. Even with standard speakers the difference is amazing.

Anyway I need to fit a dab aerial somewhere, I know most of us go for the windscreen, although I am quite keen in fitting one in the roof windows (I'm sure they have a proper name) mainly to keep it out of the way....

Has anyone done this and does it affect performance?

Also has anyone used a non grounded aerial ?

Thanks people

Take a look at this quite helpful website.

To get a good quality aerial, it does cost money. You can spend actually almost as much as the head unit (depending on the HU you buy) just to get an aerial.

You can get aerials that take the standard analog AM/FM signal and DAB all in one, which is what I did, and stuck it in my original wing mounted hole.
I went mid-range with something like this:

Either way, that website is pretty useful for telling you how it works! 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

Speak to Chris at CSK (killer90) he has a nice ariel that sits on the wing in place of the standard one but matches the angle of the windscreen and looks very tidy.. Defender 90 TD5 County -
You need only two tools in life: WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesnt move and it should: WD-40.
If it moves and shouldnt: duct tape it.
