Today whilst washing my car I noticed that someone has had pliers on the antenna. Thinking they're just stuck on I guess. Fake ones are less than £10 on eBay, yet someone had to damage mine to attempt to save a few £.

Anyone know what part I need to order? Car has sat nav and Bluetooth and DAB.

I found a US forum thread but I think they have three connectors. Does the UK only use two and the eBay antenna should do the trick if genuine?

Do you have cats in the area? These look more like teeth marks.

Couple of cats next door.

Strange that they took such a liking to it.

Any ideas on replacement? Car is two weeks old and it looks awful.

The aerial will just be providing gps but they are bolted from behind the headlining

Yup, see it now and again. Someone's little precious has had a nibble.
