Any way of mounting something appropriate within the housing mounted on the boot?
Could it be hollowed out and something more modern incorporated within there?

The housing on the boot is a perfectly good powered GPS aerial, unless it's failed through water ingress, age etc.
It's totally the wrong size for a DAB aerial.

Perfect size for a 4G antenna for in-car wifi though
