Hi all,

I have a DAB radio antenna which I would like to install. As I’d see it, it has two elements apart from the main block; the main antenna which is a thin wire approximately 8 cm long and clearly sticks to the windscreen. The other element is copper and T-shaped. what I need to know is whether the later component needs to be stuck to a metal part of the car? - which I suspect..
​​​​​…”!

anyone fitted one?

5his is the type :

Yes fitted one in my Landy. The copper bit is the ground and should be touching the body/metal.

Also DAB aerials are polarised so the long bit of the aerial should be pointing up for the best signal. (I ignored this and put mine horizontally as there’s still a horizontal bit - it works most of the time but does cut out quite readily).
