Fm Dab Aerial Advice Please

[Ethan Andrews]

Wiring up my new aftermarket head unit. And there is a double black coaxial cable.

Looks like I need a double female Fakura conversion cable to utilise this cable. But is one DAB and one FM?

I know the aerials are apparently in the mirrors. But is FM one side and DAB the other. Or are they bilaterally wired. i.e. FM and DAB both both sides?

I am actually thinking a GPS FM DAB sharkfin is the way forward. after loosing DAB signal once I changed my headlights to the Transporter HQ DRL units.

But what about when I have a pop top installed. Could the sharkfin sit on top of the aerodynamic wedge as on the. SCA roofs? Or does it need a metal roof to achieve a good ground plane

Feeling a bit confuzzled!

You have Fm in both mirrors, dab in drivers

I suggest just using a sharkfin for Dab/fm and use the gps supplied with the aftermarket unit, plus it’s cheaper and less cables to run

Regarding to installing it on a poptop, a HiLo is possible as has a thin skin, but you have to ask SCA or the installer how thick it is

Thank you once again for sterling advice, I wasn’t sure the supplied GPS would work that well behind a heated screen? Also what side of the dashboard would you place it?

Can you recommend or do you sell an FM DAb shark fin with phantom power?

Kind regards and thank you for your help one again

The Pioneers GPS aerial works very well tuck under the dash around the center of the dash, it’s only Alpine ones we find get affected by the screen

But I can can a all in one sharkfin aerial, German manufactured that will work extremely well, or just a dab/Fm

Drop us a pm or call and il run it all through with you
