Is200 With Am/fm/dab Aerial Replacement Possible?

[Yaumeister]

As I'm not getting any response from the audio/electric forum, I have double posted here. Apologies if this broke any forum rules.

I'm planning to get a DAB radio for my IS200, few queries. I know a glass mounted one can be used, but signal strength is a concern and it looks cluttered.

Is it possible to remove the factory aerial and use an aftermarket AM/FM/DAB combo one?

Is the aerial amplified, if not can I use this?

How to remove the aerial base?

Does the factory radio have a standard AM/FM aerial connector?

How is the cable from aerial to radio routed, and how much pain is it to gain access to it?

Any experience with either the Revo or ICS100?

I have not taken the aerial off my car but i have taken the rear pillars out to take off a mobile phone aerial off my rear screen, the lead for this run through the headliner.

As a guess and memory i would say the aerial is routed from the head unit going drivers side of the car and up through the head liner.

I think you would probably get away with unclipping the rear section of the headliner to put the new aerial in place.

Best person to advise on this i would say is Mat, as he has probably seen every inch of the monster.
