My Cerbera had the Pioneer DAB module fitted from new along with a factory fitted DAB ariel on the roof (see my profile pic) Although its made the FM reception superb, DAB reception is very flakey

Good thread - would also like an answer to this. Radio is non existent in my Griff, a bit annoying - be nice to see if there's a DAB alternative?

Radio reception was pants in my Griff as well. The standard aerial (in my car anyway) is just a bit of braided wire wound round the loom behind the dash. Its a wonder it received any radio channels at all. I thought that aerials were supposed to be as isolated from other elecrical inputs as much as possible to reduce interference - not sure how winding it round the main loom helps here???

I ditched the original stereo and got a newer (non-DAB) Pioneer head unit and also fitted a mod-wise amplified aerial in the boot. Dont know if the more recent head unit has helped the amplified aerial to improve matters or not, but reception now is very much improved.

There are a number of gadgets available ('PURE Highway' for example) that you can stick to the winscreen that will receive DAB signals and then squirt them to you stereo - as long as its compatible I guess. You will need a DAB aerial I think, but the PURE comes with its own that you stick to the windscreen as well.

Looking at mine the connections seem fine. The ariel is the bit of wire behind the dash.

I've seen a dab ariel the sits on the windscreen before, there is a car audio shop near to me that purports to be a dab specialist.

I'll let people know how I get on.

Will also be fitting some rear speakers if anyone has some recommendations that clear the fuel tank will be glad to hear.

It's for those peaceful times.

Stuff like that.

My aerial was also run into the boot above the fuel tank although its not there anymore. What kind of std aerial did they use? Someone I know had a Tamora with a DAB aerial in the boot and seemed to work fine as far as I recall.

when i took out the centre whale tail to repair something, i fitted a cheap amplified ariel off ebay, the type that needs a power supply and earth(both easy to find in that area). it was a snug fit and i removed the radio to manoover it into an unobstructive position. it works well with my sony head unit. i didnt have the original ariel and don't like the idea of bare wire on top of the tank.
