I found the aerial that came with it had a magnetic base and was not powered. So it didnt have a good signal and it kept breaking up.
It should improve at the anlogue switch off but the powered one is a perminant fixture and looks very smart and is hidden out of the way and always gets 75%-95% signal quality, not had 100% even when I plugged my roof aerial in so it could be a bug in the software on the freeview tuner. But including the AV in lead it came to just over £100 and the BMW one is a better system as it uses the standard stuff but the tuners go for £300 upwards. |

Your welcome Jeff, thats what all us owners are about helping others with stuff we have done or not done and bought etc.
After all I bought some aero wipers off ebay and they wernt cheap but they dont work very well at all. So might aswell give products the thumbs up if there good and work with the cars. |

Last thing now...hopefully
The small 2 pin plug slate grey/green that connects to the abs. Where abouts in the loom is it as I can't find it? I have removed the ashtray etc and had a look there but as yet can't see it. Is it to the right or left of the centre consol or behind something else? Thanks

If the slate grey/green wire isn't in plug CO982 then it will be tied up the loom for that plug. You may have to remove the insulation around the loom to find the wire, going back into the top left of the radio aparture..

Finally found the time to do this. Got a freeview box all wires, aerial etc.
Took out the old radio etc and found that the loom for the car and the loom for the hi-line both have a male plug Can anyone tell me where to get the female adaptor please Ta
