DAB antenna Navall Eclipse, which one??

Supervinnie40 · 16th February 2017, 13:57

Hi all,

I'm gonna get me one of those Navall Eclipse. And like my current Navall 1 (still love it to bits) I want the whole deal. So, also DAB/DAB+.
But I have an aerial problem....

The standard aerial is a glass mounted aerial but, it won't work on heated windscreens.
Seeing as I'm about to get myself a heated front windscreen, and the rear screen is already heated, I don't have any window left to put this on. (saloon).

Sean offers 2 extra aerials to tackle any problem:

External glass mounted aerial:
This aerial is fitted via some sort of magnet (??), which would work well. Problem is, it looks ridiculous. I didn't buy a classy Rover 75 to make it look like a news van with aerials sticking out.

External roof mounted aerial:
This requires drilling a hole in the roof, which I simply won't do. So this is not an option for me.

Seeing as 4 eyes see more then 2, I'd like to ask you if you have an idea on how to solve this.....

I am afraid the stick on aerial sucks, eventually i went for the roof mounted aerial, not the one Sean sells but another brand. 200% improvement in signal ratio.

Thanks for the replies. But none of those options work for me. I don't like the aerial sticking out of the roof, or from a window somewhere. Isn't there any sort of internal DAB antenna?
Has anybody tried this out with a heated windscreen to see how big the effect is?

P.s. Simondi, the remark about "news van", wasn't aimed at offending anybody who has this aerial. I used it to describe why I don't wanna do it to my car. Not judging others. Don't know of you felt offended, but wanted to make sure you knew I meant no offence.
