I have just realised why the roof has such smooth looking lines...I see no aerials on the pictures I have seen?

I am guessing if you choose a nav option it must have one of some description..but none sat nag models, is it some sort of internal one?

Correct mate. Sat nav adds a shark fin aerial, I believe the standard one is in the windscreen but don't quote me on that.

I've the basic composite media system on my GTD with the fin  :nerd:

The advanced telephone preparation adds the fin too. The radio antenna is hidden in the rear window (the heating lines that demise the rear window isn't just for heating).

Slightly off topic (but still roof related) but does where the centre of the roof meets the left and right hand side, is there a 'seam' or is it a smooth transition from one to the other?

A close up photo would be very much appreciated.

That would explain my fin..
