Simple question, is this connection the same as the oem one?

Cheers

Yes or at least it's the same as my 55 plate fabia

Looks like. Where did you get that one from?

Great thanks guys, Fabla I just ordered it from my local dealer, £38.52 inc. vat

Mike, Not quite the same connection....

You have to remove the pink surround from that connector in the

picture before it will fit.

There are a couple of little tabs to press in on it then it should

just come apart.This will reveal a circular connection plug inside

which will then fit to the one on the car.

You then must also tape/heatshrink that connection together

as they won't snap together any more since you've just taken

the surround off the new plug. This will ensure they don't come apart in the.

rooflining.

I've had one of these on the car for a while now.

There is also a good guide on here with pics to help you install it.

That's what I used when I fitted mine.

Do some searches for sharkfin and you'll find it eventually.

TOP TIP.

When you pull off the piece of plastic trim to access the rooflining.

MAKE SURE you pull it directly downwards toward the floor.. If you don't it will

break as it has funny prongy things on the rear of it. Tried to pry mine off.

Big mistake....

Luckily, a new one only costs about £7 but will probably have to be ordered in specially

as it'll be the darker grey plastic (Onyx). Waited a week or so for mine.

Yes I broke it..... :p

You'll find radio reception a bit fuzzy in the sticks but okay in big towns and cities.

Still might get a signal booster for mine yet.

Cheers Garry, thats a huge help

I've had that particular piece of trim off a few times (been hunting for a vibration in the headlining), I think theres only 3 clips left on it so hopefully I wont break it this time round and thanks for posting the guide
