I had a new “old look” Blaupunkt stereo fitted today which has Bluetooth, hands free phone and DAB.

Very nice looking and already sounds better than the old Sony that I’d installed together with the CD stacker that the PO gave me.
I even took my first phone call on my way home
which was nice and convenient instead of missing the call.
However the guys said they didn’t want to install the DAB radio up into the windscreen (passenger side) pillar as the screen was bonded and they didn’t want to risk breaking the pillar trim nor screen! From what I understand, they have a very short, inch long, earth wire which needs a good connection to body or other which is where the installation challenge came. Frustrating having wanted DAB.
At least I can stream live or downloaded radio and music via my phone which works great. I also have functioning FM radio which had failed on the Sony.
QUESTION:
Has anyone fitted or had fitted a DAB aerial to their 944 if you have a screen aerial ( body mounted aerial would have been easy to hijack for DAB).
Kit use? Where fitted to?
