Think i am going to ditch original plan of using windscreen stick on aerial and invest in a quality roof mounted dab/fm aerial.

 

I just have a few questions so please any help would be great:

 

Where does the power lead go? its short so do i need to extend it or is there a nice power lead to the boot somewhere i can scotch lock into?

 

Will i need the skoda ampler bit anymore as the Kinetic unit is amplified already. if i bypass the skoda amplifier to the head unit i assume this means i would need to run a new aerial lead for fm to the head unit.

 

Whats best route for routing new cables from roof hole to stereo?

 

Will I need one of those pc-502 jobs?

See some info on how I did mine here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/339985-dab-ariels/#entry4103879

Different set up though. Power to my aerial is via the central core of the radio antenna I believe.

Update!

 

Went ok, touch wood. Managed to route new cables, all wrapped tightly in cloth tape, down rear pillar and under sill trim all way to back of new head unit.

 

Fitted microphone.

 

Spliced in a switch live feed for the DAB aerial, did a hand brake bypass so DVD plays all the time and it all works great, very pleased.

 

Toughest part was getting the damn double din cage in that gap! I will admit I used a lump hammer and a block of wood to 'persuede' it in, haha.

 

Cruise control going into today and then thats it, one happy bunny.
