Got my new car, now to change aerial

[stuartturrell]

i need to change my standard aerial to a kenwood bee-sting DAB aerial.

I am a bit wary about doing it as the wiring will require some removing of interior.

Can anyone help in a way i can make this as easy as possible.

No easy way of doing it unfortunately, have to remove the interior!

Its not too difficult.

I removed the:

Center console
Driver’s footrest
Lower right door trim
Driver’s carpet
Top half of dash
Front pillar trim
Upper right door trim
Sun visor
Peeled back some of the headlining

Then it was just a case of removing all the old loom and feeding it down behind the dash, under the carpet and up into the centre console.

My aerial was all part of the remote sensor and courtesy light loom, so that involved removing the trim on the passenger side as well as feeding into the pillars.

Bit of work, but didnt involve a blow torch or hitting things with hammers so was quite enjoyable.
