Bought a Kenwood DAB head unit a few months back, on the whole it's pretty good, although I only usually listen to Radio 2.
When I fitted it, I just plugged in the windscreen DAB ariel and stuck it to the screen, but I have always felt limited in terms of the stations I can pick up, many of the station that appear in the list, do not actually work.
Is there a specific location where the ariel should be mounted?

took my car into the local Polish hand car wash at the weekend and they kindly removed it from the windscreen in several parts, so problem has changed somewhat... lol
New one ordered... Cheers all.

heated front screen perhaps?
No heated screen, but the ariel has to be on the front screen as have a convertible.

Not one of these coated screens - that will block RF?
Unlikely, will check with other owners though, thanks

Could they be Albanian, Bosnian or from Kosovo?
Possibly. Who knows.
