Title: Dab connectors
Post by: Washout on July 26, 2015, 09:15:08 pm

Could anyone please furnish me with links to the bits I need to buy to retrofit rcd 510 dab in my gti, I'm not being lazy just getting mega confused. I know I need a different connector for the fm aerial but this has two connectors on, which the new aerial I'm going for (polo dab aerial) doesn't. Also which cable should I buy for the dab connection. Please guys my heads mashed.  :signLOL:

Hi mate I put one of these in my car the other week, I was gonna buy the polo roof aerial, but instead I just brought a window screen one off eBay for £10 and just stuck it underneath the dash at the top, works fine never lost signal and 10x easier/cheaper  :happy2:
