Following on from this thread in the 8th Gen section
http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/23404-dab-options/?p=243032
I thought it might be worth working on ideas to create an acceptable DAB reception system for the 7th Generation (I only have a Tourer to work on) without resorting to an aftermarket kit and all the potential pitfalls with drilling holes in roofs, sealing holes in roof, stripping/refitting upholstery , pulling new cables through blind compartments etc
The Tourer has two windows for the aerials, left for AM, MW/LW, and the right for FM.
Certainly from the following dimensions measured this morning the existing FM system does not lend itself well to adaption, though from my college training some thirty + years ago it might be worthwhile checking reception if the vehicle is in a strong signal area for the majority of its life and the owner really wants a DAB system running, regardless of the existing FM console.
I will split the posts into short ones for two reasons, to save people falling asleep and to ensure that what is in the create window does not disappear owing to an intermittent PSU fault which means shutdowns at irregular intervals.
