| Yes reception is crap with the shark fin aerial but i didn't buy mine for that reason,i don't like bee sting aerials and think shark fins look better so mine is for cosmetic reasons only plus i don't listen to radio anyway so i'm not missing out on anything ![]() |

| This is mine: FM reception is marginally better than if you unscrew the standard aeriel. It's fine on MW, and OK on FM although I'm missing XFM in Manchester in low signal areas. I think it looks cool, mind! ![]()

| Surely fitting one must be a real bitch of a job? Don't you have to run the co-ax all the way to the head unit, meaning head lining removal, or can it be done without removing the head lining? |
