Previous owner had replaced the Suzuki radio with a Pioneer unit with DAB capability.
Has anyone fitted a DAB aerial? If so which one did they use please?
Thanks

My Jimny ad an on glass DAB aerial, but my head unit and 360 degree camera caused interference, so I bought a mag mount whip aerial and put it on the roof at the rear. There is a small coil in the middle, it looks a bit like a mobile phone aerial from the 90s and a tiny amplifier in the coax.

The aerial came from Amazon, they don’t sell that model now but do sell others that are the same.

I routed the cable under the carpet and behind one of the rear panels, then out through the rear door.

It works much better than the on glass ever did.

I fitted a Kenwood DAB unit, and that has the glass mount aerial which does not seem to clever. To the point I rarely use it.

Have you considered using the existing aerial with a DAB splitter?
