I'm going to stick receiver under parcel shelf through those holes in the boot and there is just enough space for the receiver.

In parallel I'm going to order monster DCF antenna from Germany.
Update:

I have done 1+ week testing and I have stable reception in the boot under parcel shelf. Leaving receiver there permanently is a good option.

I also ordered new receiver from Audi (£60) as I believe my is not tuned good enough. 'Tree test' failed while Adrian's receiver worked tip top on the same spot. Want to mount that receiver in OEM spot when I get there when refreshing RNS-E project starts.

Discussion with zee Germans about industrial grade receiver still continues...
