why would you want to waste money on something so pointless.??

i would assume it just needs connecting to a 12v source and the aerial connector behindd your headunit based on the piss poor amount of info on the page that i could see.

reception would prolly be about the same as your standard aerial

I've got a PC card that does FM and DAB radio. Hooked up to a proper above the roof Yagi. I doubt if a stick on aerial will give you solid reception in a car. Maybe the amplified version would work, but it's a "suck it and see" proposition. Buy it, try it, tell us.

well i had a chat with EGO on his stick on antenna and he said it gets about 80% reception or something

i just wanted to know if the DAB+ would improve this

Its all going to be about placement, I'd try it out in a few places, over a couple of weeks, by sticking it up with tape temporarily. Til you find a good spot...
Just check the returns policy from the retailer. If you're concerned about the Cash...

Others here have shaved an antenna before, go searching...PM them if you have a Q...
