If I were you I'd fit the original antenna amplifier. Have a look in the DAB retrofit how-to threads for more info. The in-glass antenna DAB reception is really excellent for me, and all you'd need is the amplifier plus some coax cable.
however i have traced back the black fm and blue dabs Aerial back to the side windows for the fm and i see the dabs blue cable on the drivers side back quarter panel pillar.
both these Aerials have amplifiers attached to the car panels and power connecting to them...
i was told the dabs usb module for android can not work with amplified aerial.
