Fitting a DAB Aerial.
I’ve got myself a DAB aerial so I can hook up my radio. It’s a glass stick on one that I’ve decided to mount on the passengers side of the windscreen along the line of the roof.
I plan to hide the wire behind the A pillar trim, and run it behind the dashboard. Are there any tips you guys can offer as I embark on this saga? How do I get the various trim off etc? I know I can pop the dash fascia off with a trim tool, will that be enough access to get to where I’m going etc? |

Fitted mine to the windscreen, bearing in mind part of the aerial needs to be on metal. Pull the A pillar cover off, it's only clipped on, making sure there's no airbag behind and run the wire down

Follow up question. How do I know if there’s an airbag lurking behind these A pillars or not?
There’s no tag on there saying there’s one, but is that any indication? |
