I've retrofitted a DAB head unit into an E39. I used a DAB antenna like the below. Reception is quite patchy. Are there better ones out there?




I bought a second one just in case the original was duff, negligible difference. DC power to the antenna is enabled. The new antenna has an LED too confirming this. The earthing braid is stuck to bodywork where I've scraped the paint off for a sound connection.

I've tried Internet radio, but it's too much of faff for me changing stations and sources easily on the move, and often flaky signal wise too.

Googlfu has failed to find anything much better. Any recommendations or tips for a better replacement? I don't want to drill any holes in the body really.
