Hi All,
having completed my latest (nearly) project of replacing the centre console with a self covered black leather with red stitching and having had a birthday in the not to distant past where upon many friends and family proffer me with money... I decided to uprate my Pioner (whatever the hell it is) cd mp3 player to a DAB with Bluetooth player... I really missed not being able to listen to five live and since my current radio only finds RADIO 1 and Breeze FM (literally nothing else) I figured what the hell.
I found a nice Pure Highway 260DBi (I think that was the model) which has Bluetooth AND DAB which seems to be a bit of a rarity (certainly in single din format) and even better a refurbished one from good old Halfrauds for a mere £90.00 a snip I'm sure you'll agree.
Having discounted the Magnetic external aerial the only other option seemingly available to me is the windscreen mounted floppy sticky on plastic jobby like I had on my boxster (worked absolutely fine I have to say)...
Looking at how to fit it on the other hand is something of a different question. I can stick it to the window on the passenger side no problem but can I get in through the trim somehow to the back of the radio ? anyone done this, got pictures ?
If not, standby I'll upload some when I get around to doing the work.
Let me know.
thanks in advance,

From 2005 the aerial went from being mounted into the boot lid to instead being routed into the front clam.
It goes from the back of the radio through a large grommet in the bulk head down the centre 'spine ' of the clam.
On later cars this became a dab aerial itself and went further down the spine where it then split into two and wrapped back on itself into the underside of the wheel arches section of clam.
To retro fit my dab I got a std dab aerial and routed it as above.
(Took a bit of work toget it through that bulkhead grommet)
