What have folk done for a DAB aerial?
« on: September 04, 2017, 04:40:17 pm »
I've just installed an rcd310 in to the golf and still need to add a DAB aerial.  There seems to be quite a few options out there!

It seems a roof mounted one is the way forward, but I'd like to know what folk have gone for and how they've wired/routed the cabling.

Any links to a half decent setup would be good too

TIA. :happy2:

"dabonwheels" for aerial choice I think the one I have is the 6003.

Polo 6r dab aerial base and mast. It receives fm and dab. There is a connection on the base for each. So you need to run a aerial cable for the dab. I got it from dab on wheels
Works fine

Depends on the year. As mine is a 2005 with the aerial in the rear glass, I got a mk6 setup for that which was a bit fiddly as (being a cheapskate) I got the bits together myself from Ebay. Kufatec do the complete kit which would take the hassle out of it. Works great, looks factory.
I had bought one of those ones that go in the side of the windscreen which I never used which I'll put up in the for sale section soon.
