Hello all,
Well I have just collected my E30 and want to fit a DAB radio head unit that I have. Does anyone have any experience with fitting DAB aerials on to an E30? If so what make was it and how was the reception?

i used a internal mount DAB aerial fitted it when i flush the rear panles , stuck it on the inside of the rear wings it was made by sum random company but worked fine.
kenwood and jvc and Blaupunkt do sum good ones also, have alook on ebay , might get a shark fin one from an e92

Thanks guys. I was looking at the internal mount ones but was not sure how good the reception would be.
I will be sure to PM Danthe.

The stick on screen ones look horrible which was enough to put me off, I had a splitter in the wiring to a Hirchman mast aerial on my E30 and it worked well.
The splitters supposedly dont work with amplified aerials
Ive now got the DAB set in my E34 touring and use a roof mounted DAB specific bee sting aerial, its slightly better than the setup I had in the E30 but the difference isnt worth the £50 I paid for the aerial
Ive still got the splitter, £15 posted to any zoners

Hi DanThe,
So does the splitter mean I can just use the standard rear wing aerial and get DAB? If so I am very interested.
Thanks,
Nicholas
