Akuma77 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) funny you saying that because the original toyota whip aerial looks one that miss whiplash would use lol i i found a beesting in the shed the other day and that was from my old calibra v6 and it looks great and much better on the celica.

Devious Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Doesn't it have to be as large as the windscreen though as the bandwidth is wider from source so a "standard" aeriel would be patchy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill T Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 the beesting seems to work ok with the radio atm DAB or FM?

What head unit have you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtoycelica Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have ripspeed one with the foldout screen it does come up with what station im listening to not sure if its dab will dig out the box but it cost 250 quid new so I think so has everything else like video input for a reverse camera or console but the screen button has broke so was thinking of getting a new one anyway.

Bill T Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well you mentioned Digital channels that would indicate DAB, but in my experience DAB either works or it doesn't. I also believe that FM and DAB aerials are not compatible. When I had a Digital Radio in my 7 I used the original aerial for FM and the windscreen jobber for DAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtoycelica Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ah looking through the specs it isnt dab but suppotd rds so what aerials should I stay away from as I would like to get kiss when in basingstoke or at least a constent radio 1.

Bill T Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well in that case it's FM and if the reception is as bad as you say check all your connections and get a big fuck off aerial, that's the limit of my knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
