Shark fin aerial on ZS EV in India

[Jake]

Cars I've had in recent years with the shorter style antennas have lost DAB reception momentarily in 4 or 5 places on local roads I use regularly. Since having the MG ZS EV with the older style longer antenna I don't lose reception in any of those places. Height isn't a problem so I'm keeping mine as is.

I unscrewed my aerial and radio is ok on my driveway so was DAB but I'm guessing DAB will have issues driving around. I don't need either really and would like to cap off the unscrewed area. (Don't want water getting in and it to start to rust)
Any suggestions how?

I thought the aerial was mainly to improve phone reception?

Anybody tried a coat hanger yet?

 

[Cocijo]

Coat hanger! We’re far too posh as MG owners for that! Especially when you can get a replacement for £4 off eBay!

Try a small bolt from B&Q/Wicks with a bit of sealer.

Use the plastic tape from the drain holes in the doors...

The aluminium/carbon fibre stub aerial arrived in the post today & took two minutes to fit. Out with the jerry rigged aerial that was too tall to go in my garage & in with the new aerial Works just fine

Yeah looks good The kit came with 4 other different lengths of threaded brass bar to fit all types of aerial types. Well worth it for under a fiver.

Yeah they are good for the money, mine works very well and no loss in signal.

Only charge £4 if you call into their unit in Wolverhampton. What a bargain!
