aerial base and aerial replacement needed
 

Anybody any idea where i can find these parts :Confused:

any part numbers? is this one for our sponsors? +++

Definitely one for our sponsors I'd say.

On my old S8 I replaced it with an external glass-mount one as I couldn't find one anywhere and wasn't aware of our sponsors (or maybe they hadn't started?)

Aerial replacement
 

On my D3 S8, I fitted a DAB aerial in the normal D3 location at rear of roof. I bought a mag moinmt one from Dab on wheels website. Please note that with aluminum body you need a number plate sticky pad. (Ask how I know...). This has a Fakra connector on the end, same as SatNav systems.

(See my signature picture)

Good luck

Managed to track down the rubber seal part anybody know how it comes out the old one?, monkey has chewed it down :rolleyes:

Im hoping it just pulls out?

The antenna is attached from inside the rear quarter. You'll need to remove the boot side trim to get to it, and iirc there's one bolt holding it to a bracket. It then drops down out of the rubber grommet - the force it needs can be quite scary as they're all pretty crusty by now. If it's stuck, tt helps to drop some lubricant (WD-40 etc) down between the aerial base and the gromment from outside, and then wiggle it around a bit to free it. The grommet is then just a push-fit in the panel.

There are a couple of versions of the aerial base depending on which options the car has (phone prep etc), and it has different connectors accordingly.

Ah, sorry, you mean the whip aerial, not GPS.

Isn't that just for the telephone?
