External fm/dab antenna in Astra J
#5
I have the Kinetic DRA-6003 http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_DRA...erial.html

Aerial fit the hole without problems, however though I have never been able to have a perfect seal around the outside edge, no matter what I tried. There was a tiny gap always at the front edge so put grease on the underside of aerial base before putting in place.

As for reception, the signal continually drops out through built up areas and roads with lots of trees. This maybe down to poor reception where I live though, wish I had gone for the longer aerial instead of the shorter one.

I couldn't find a connector to fit the new aerial to the factory fm lead as the new aerial is hirschmann male and car factory lead is facra female, so you will need hirschmann female to din male http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Connector_H..._DIN_M.asp , then femal din to male fakra. This is from memory though, so you would need to check for yourself first.
