Use SharkFin for GPS/DAB to GPS/FM/AM anubody? - Hummelshøj - 13:th-Nov-2016
I have purchased the oem sharkfin for GPS/DAB as I have the normal aerial on the my GTC now.
I have bought duppel Fakra connections and extra wires with fakra male/female and connection for GPS aerial on headunit as I have RoadCommander, like Icebox etc., unit instead of the factory CD400. And I want the factory look.
I know on factoty fit navi cars, the FM/AM aeriel was built in the rear tailgate. But that is not an option to make or is it?

Has anybody tried to use the DAB side of the aerial for FM/AM signal, and use GPS wire for GPS as I am tired of the GPS block that came with the unit that is glued to the windscreen.

Both wires is for GPS?
One wire is for GPS, second wire is for phone I found. But could I use phone wire for FM/AM, It should make no matter, should it..

Totally different frequency.
I use an aftermarket Sharkfin that does GPS, AM/FM & DAB don't be shocked by the price it's very good and works never had one drop out.

Is it possible to retrofit the factory radio signal in the rear tailgate as when the car has factory fit Navi.
I most say that 150£ for an aerial is a lot of money.
