Haha, the previous owner put a Parrot in mine, the cabling was truly a mess. Thankfully someone else sorted it for me. Got an RNS315, everything in one box and works fine as I don't use the sat nav.
Pudding, what's wrong with a shark fin? I'm wanting one for a decent DAB antenna because the one that sticks on the window is complete sh*t. The fact is has GPS and AM/FM as well is a bonus but lots of cars have shark fins so wondering what it makes it a target for?
pudding:
Theft. When shark fins first started appearing, thieves knew that meant there was a high end media unit attached to it. I remember quite a lot of break-ins (mostly BMWs) near where I lived at the time. Probably not as prevalent at the moment due to covid.

I retro fitted the original DAB antenna into the back window......great reception
This is what I followed a few years ago.

Thanks for the info both. Is this the right amplifier? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334222476904?epid=648097590&hash=item4dd1364668:g:xqYAAOSwkLVhlPeR

No, the DAB version has a double connector not a single. one side completes the FM loop and the other is for DAB with a new cable to be fitted.
