Digital Radio DAB On-Glass Internal Aerial

Digital Radio DAB / DAB+ On-Glass Antenna

Upgrade your vehicle digital radio reception with this high-performance internal on-glass windscreen mount antenna. Designed as a superior alternative to standard film antennas supplied with aftermarket head units, this amplified dipole antenna features an extended 52 cm metal element to significantly boost signal pickup in areas with weak or average DAB broadcast coverage.

Features:

• Extended 52 cm amplified dipole design provides superior signal gain compared to standard compact glass-mount antennas.
• Drastically reduces signal dropouts and audio buffering in fringe or low-coverage DAB and DAB+ broadcast zones.
• Discreet internal windscreen mounting protects the antenna element from car washes, weather exposure, and vandalism.
• Self-adhesive backing strip with clear mounting element ensures a clean, unobtrusive visual appearance on your windscreen.
• Powered directly via 12V DC phantom power from your DAB tuner or head unit with no additional power wiring required.

Installation Details:

• Ensure the glass surface temperature is above 20°C and clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol or a similar non-residue solvent prior to application.
• Temporarily position the antenna using tape to test reception quality and ensure the location does not obstruct the driver view before permanently adhering it.
• Peel the yellow protective paper backing to expose the clear self-adhesive strip and apply firm, uniform pressure across the antenna element to secure it to the glass.
• Route the 3 m RG174 coaxial cable neatly along the windscreen trim and dash lining to your DAB tuner or head unit.
• Connect the SMB female connector securely to the DAB antenna input on your head unit and ensure phantom power (12V DC) is activated in the tuner menu settings.

Important Notes:

This antenna is designed for internal windscreen mounting only and is not suitable for external vehicle application. Do not install the antenna in any position that restricts or interferes with the driver view. Vehicles fitted with metallic, thermal, or climate-control window tints may experience signal attenuation; in such cases, position the antenna within the designated non-metallic cut-out area typically reserved for toll-tags (refer to your vehicle owner manual for details).
