AERIALS

Post by vipfto »

Prob a dumb noob question
My fto is the only one ive seen that has no external aerial 8O
I know thats its one of those thats on the rear windscreen but like I said its only one ive come across on FTO, I have no evidence of there ever being an external one before :?
Does anyone else have this?
Its not a problem infact I think its great i'm just curious :)

i have no external aerial either.

it was an optional extra when the car was produced, the external one picks up a bit better signal but IMO no aerial looks better.

drill a hole in your wing ;) fixed!

Just in case youre thinking of finding an aerial and putting it in, I have done this in the past and its not as simple as you might think. I got a template and drilled the hole and got the aerial to fit and that was fine. problem is, even if you have the switch, you will not have the wiring to support it and while you can switch over the loom that runs down the side of the car into the boot, you cant easily switch the one under the dash. I ended up splicing 2 wires into the loom under the dash to get it to work and was only able to work out what to do because I had a wreck with the aerial in it to work off.
