I know, I know.
It's been mentioned before, but each time I find a thread about it and someone says "search the forum for people that have done this/discussed this" I can never find a comprehensive thread about it. Either nobody has done it, or there have been some compromises e.g. losing DAB or AM/FM or satellite navigation.
Basically, we hate the standard old fashioned/cheap looking aerial on the ZS EV and want to replace it with a shark fin style one like the MG HS has. I know some of the non-UK ZS EVs actually came with a shark fin style aerial too, I don't know why MG UK didn't put one on the UK model - cost cutting I suppose?
Anyway I'd like to know...
1. Has anyone done this and retained full use of DAB/radio/satnav?
2. Is there a link to a thread or threads where it's discussed in detail (I can't find one)?
3. Does it seem possible/feasible to replace the standard aerial with one from a HS? There are plenty of second had HS shark fin aerials on eBay.
4. If not, what would the best alternative be? I'm not really interested in just unscrewing the top part of the aerial to shorten it as someone else suggested
5. What kind of place should I approach regarding adapting a HS shark fin to fit the ZS? I'm assuming any body shop will do minor electrical stuff too?
Thanks
