DAB antenna installation
« on: 09 April 2022, 05:57 »
Ordered a new DAB antenna for Alpine DEH-7800DAB radio. Any advice on where to place it, seems front window passenger side is recommended.

What kind of car do you have. I used a Polo dab aerial to fit to my mk5 golf. Couldn't get any luck with the stick on type

i had it on the front and a couple of different type and couldn't get it too work correctly. It depends on your location, im in Scotland , but possibly get away with it in London for example

If you have a mk5 or 6 it might be worth considering an oem dab/fm amplifier to replace the fm one. Need to run an extra cable from it to the dab connector on the radio though.
