Brigt, I use the original radio and also the hands-free on the original radio (via blue-tooth). Evrything works like before, on an incoming phone-call the radio will mute down. In the radios display I read "DAB-mode" and the frequency I have chosen for sending from the adapter to the radio. On the adapters display I can read the name the station, programinfo and so on.

First of all: my DAB adapter with the window antenna is working perfect in the areas I am driving. Even in tunnels. When i had the plastic trimming removed I could slip the antenna cable down. Removing the plastic panel opposite of the fuse box, I could lead it on downwards and put it under the front end of the floor cover. Then I pushed it under the plastic cover on the side of the gear-tunnel. It could certainly have been more elegant, but it is good enough for me.

Thanks to everybody on Skoda forum for the help. The antenna and the adapter are now ready installed and working. When I knew where the clips were located it was no big deal at all. I opened up the dash side panel (where the fuse box are located on the other side) to find a way for the cable. Power from the lighter socket isn't the most elegant, but it works. The adapter sends signal on FM and I use the ordinary radio to receive it - the display shows "DAB mode". The adapter shows station and program information. Now I can listen to "NRK-always news" or Sports, Weather or Jazz or whatever my intersts are. Disconnecting the battery resulted in the trip-counter were re-set and some error messages on the dash, but they disappered after some minutes. The only thing I had to do were setting the clock.

I hope so too. Norway is absolutely not flat, on the contrary. So we need a lot of transmitters. We get them inside tunnels too. In Norway we get DAB+ , though I dont know its advantage over DAB. A good coverage is important for road security too. Traffic interruptions are announced by the major broadcasters. If I have had a 2016 model like you, the DAB+ would have been factory installed

Most Norwegian cars from before 2014 will drive around with adapters and window mounted antennas. We all buy them, even car workshops install them (at a high price). The FM netwoork is closing completely down as from this summer. The government has promised a 98% coverage using window antennas.

Thanks a lot Urrell. I guess I will dis-connect the battery to avoid triggering the air-bag. Do I risk anything by doing so ?

I am not going to buy a roof-top antenna. I am just asking how to remove the plastic trimming on the passenger side a-pole. It is clipped on, but I cant figure out where to start un-clipping and how the clips are secured. Anybody who can help me ?

Thanks a lot

The anenna is a tiny strip of wire with double sided tape. it is attached to a kind of active devise (a black box). From this goes the antenna cable and the copper grounding which should be put in touch with the car framework. The antenna should be glued to the window, and the cable led along the a-pole preferably behind the trim, down to under the glove compartement and then to the adapter. Thats why I want to remove the a-pole trim.

Norway is closing down the FM network resulting in we have to innstall DAB+ adapters to maintain radio listening. I have bought an adapter set including a front-window antenna. The antenna needs groundig . How do I remove the trim on the a-post do get in touch with "metal". ? It is in a 2013 Yeti.

I am a retired, Skoda Yeti owner from the south of norway. Hello to you all.
