I think - and might be wrong - that the PF models had a retractable aerial for the radio and the FL models had an aerial (if at all) for the the phone. Both were standard fitting.

My PF S8 has a fixed black whip aerial which is for both the radio and the 'phone.

If you had phone prep (and all S8s did I think) in PF, you got the whippy, others got the shoddy rectractable.

That makes sense then.

I may just take the thing completely out - radio is for old people.
Get it 'patched up' when it goes in for a complete respray! (if).

Captain if you look at your rear window you just about see the demist filament (looks like a front screen type) the others will have a normal type filament (like a fiesta has) these massive, great fat lines in the back window also act as the aerial

Actually, the demister elements don't double as the radio aerial.

The aerial uses the two vertical elements, either side of the windshield.

I did love the 'quickclear' style rear window in my PF D2.
