I want to remove the duff original seat aerial and fit a DAB aerial in its place along with suitable headunit

has anybody come across an aerial that fits the original hole in the roof ?

Im pretty sure this is the one I've fitted:

As you can see it has separate outputs for FM and DAB. I ran a separate cable up the A-pillar and down the roof lining for DAB. I also ran a switched 12v up to it - make sure you fuse this or take it from a fused source.

One of the worst bits to source was an adapter from the existing FM coax in the Leon to the FM lead on the aerial. Found one in the end, but I can't remember where from.

Works very well. If you run good coax to the back of the head unit, you'll have absolutely no problem with signal.

As far as looks go, it's basically identical to standard except I think the angle is a little more upright.


edit: found the email on the FM adapter cable btw:
