How much does the reception degrade by having one of these? It was a bit naff on my old car (genuine part bought too)
I have one... It works pretty well. Signal did drop a bit, its ok now though, I have a signal booster fitted...

Not really had it long enough to comment. I don't listen to the radio much tbh.
When I took the original one out (leaving the base with no aerial) I tested the radio and it sounded fine! Even thought about leaving it with no aerial so it looked almost like a fin but popped in the new one just to be safe.

I have the C2 one. For some reason national radio stations like Radio 1 are a bag of shite, but I can pick up the BBC locals and other commercial stations fine. Radio 1 wasn't perfect with the stock aerial either though, but it does drop out more with the stubby one. I just need to adjust my taste in music to something I can get
Tbh I don't mind that so much. Barely listen to the radio ever really. Got my ipod sitting in my glovebox linked to the rear of the head unit through a gromit in there.
Not a fan of Radio 1 either
lolJust need to make sure people we're happy with the quality of theirs. Also gotta be that matt'ish black finish so no chav-scum try to pinch it.
ha ha, I used to listen to Dave Pearce but then they moved his dance anthems slot and I said bye.
Won't go near Radio 1 in the morning due to Chris Moyles. :w4nk:
Anyway back on the subject of aerials.. I'll be ordering mine today.
Just get a booster if your worried about signal loss..

I found my c2 aireal when I was in france a few years ago alltho mine came off the c8 but it's the same size it just fell off as I walked past it in a car park
Just had a bit of a search for 'aerial' threads and come across this.
I want to buy one of these now, but can I just check you guys are both happy with your aerials still?
Prob go for the cheaper one
Couple of quid saved for the HIDs...
I'm not a radio fan but the signal is not as good as it is with the standard aerial. If this is a problem then get a signal booster as mentioned above by Mr Ben.
I think it improves the look of the car soooo much though. DO IT!

The only 'problem' I encountered when I fitted mine, is that my H/U is pretty big and has a lot of wires as it is, so to get it to fit snug and so the security prongs were all in place, I had to take out the glove box and pull the wires through a bit, but its 3 torx screws and your in. Even I managed it, and I am totally flumuxed by the installation guide on these new wipers I got today, lol.

Just add 12v to number 5 (if you don't have the standard head unit installed)
When you remove the standard unit you remove the 12v feed for the aerial.
