Shark fin for cd400 - chrisb2511 - 9:th-Aug-2016
Does anyone know what shark fin i can get that will still have good reception? Ive got the standard cd400 non DAB and hate the way the aerial looks. Ive seen loads cheap on ebay but dont know if they will be any good.

Best make not cheap but worth spending the money.

It's not gloss black you could paint it.
Ignore the dirty car not had a chance to wash it yet.

I like the look of this, will the insignia one fit? Or can it be made to fit?

I ran mine to c-pillar then dropped it down (remove kick panel trim along doors) and then ran it along with the other wires then I ran across to the Radio. You can run it either side.
