DAB tuner

[aosborne]

Anybody tried having one of these fitted ?
I have a brand new cerbera and the tuner has been fitted with the aerial in the boot but it does not pick up a signal most of the time
The advice from the garage is to mount the aerial on the roor or boot , but I really dont want to spoil its fantastic looks
Anybody got any other ideas
Many Thanks

I have DAB radio as well and its fine!
My digital aerial run under my dash.
Are you sure that the CD player has the DAB unit fitted?
Some of the CD/tape players are DAB ready but you still need to buy the main DAB decoder unit.

yes there is a separate dab unit which they have put in the boot on the top shelf
Is your aerial under the dash or next to the windscreen

Modwise do an aerial for the cerbera. If you do a search on here, you should find out more. They also advertise in Sprint.

Many thanks I'll have look in Sprint

Its usually one of the very small ads in Sprint.

mod wise only do a amplifier for a standard am/fm radio
I,m looking elsewhere Blaupunkt do one that sticks on the rear windscreen

i tried the blaupunkt window aerial with little success,the best signal i got was to mount the dab antenna on the parcel shelf using a stubby antenna from halfords but mounted onto the base of the dab aerial,very unobtrusive when finished.

Thanks for the post I was just about to order a blaupunkt
not sure what you mean though by a stubby aerial from halfords linked to the dab aerial
Can you give some details

Thanks

sorry,being a bit vague.
i got a normal glass mount aerial,the sort that sticks to the glass and sandwiches it inside and out a bit like a phone antenna.the thing is the antenna is about 18"long and i wanted to fix it inside the car on the parcel shelf so as not to spoil the outside.so i got a short antenna in silver from halfords and swapped it for the standard one and it worked a treat,its only about 8"long so can stand quite upright to get the best signal.
the antenna can be screwed on/off of the base plate so swapping is dead easy.
hope this helps.

Thanks Mike
Off to halfords in the morning !

no luck there. I found an ordinary stick on the glass aerial but that required earting to metal
I'm still not quite sure how you connect up any chance you could send a picture to my email ?

i got my glass mount aerial with the radio so i guess its from blaupunkt,i only used halfords to buy a shorter antenna to fit on the supplied aerial base plate. sorry i dont have any pictures and the cars now gone.
