    I’ve had a shark fin aerial from Paintmodz on mine for nearly 3 years and it’s been fine until now when it’s started loosing DAB reception, I’ve read on another post it could be the GPS that also does the Sat Nav does anyone know which it could be.

    I probably need do a total re scan of the dab radio if it can be done I can only remember how to do the ensemble + – thing not sure if that’s a re scan or just tune a station in?

    Glad to hear the shark fin been fine to date, I went with Ford sport Ariel and pants. Is the shark fin easy to fit?

    Yeah very easy I just marked where I wanted it with masking tape before I stuck it down.

    I tried the Ford Sport ariel and reception was poor especially DAB. I’m in the Surrey area. Went back to OEM ariel and its fine. Haven’t used the shark fin as my experience with the Ford Sport ariel has made me a little sceptical tbh.

    That’s the inner workings of the Finn areal I mean 👍👍

    As mark says easy to fit if you have access to power , a light blast from air dryer to soften seal gives a better bond, hope helps 👍👍

    My DAB on sync 3 keeps dropping out. Phoned the dealership to enquire about a service and mentioned this issue. Fobbed off with there are reservoirs in the area I live, yet I drive nowhere near them. What issue is it and what can I dump in the service guys lap to sort it out. I also get a sharp signal when the DAB is working then it dulls slightly then comes back. Can anyone here confirm it’s an issue Ford can fix or will they continue to give out bollox about reception.
