Dab aerial location

[Conor1974]

Hi,

 

Recently I had been having problems with our Columbus satnav system and worked out that the problem had been caused by having the DAB aerial too close to the GPS antenna.

 

I reverted to using the internal screen mounted DAB aerial but frequently get drop outs where we didnt get them with the external mag mount antenna.

 

I want to switch back to the mag mount antenna but don't know the best location to place it.  I had thought of mounting it on the boot lid.  

 

Any suggestions or maybe ideas for a better external aerial that migh be smaller?

 

Thanks,

it will be mounted on the normal roof aerial & id just replace it with a new complete unit for best results.

Do you mean the existing aerial?  The car didnt have the SatNav built in.  It was installed after we bought the car 2nd hand.

ok you would need to swap it for this type http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Oem-DAB-Roof-Aerial-With-Dab-Gps-6m-Cable-Rns510-Dab-Rcd510-Rns315-/281975884028?hash=item41a71288fc:g:fqMAAOSwEeFU7kdO
