Stubby aerial (again)

I don't listen to the radio, drives me up the wall, haven't since the days of Terry Wogan and Noel Edmunds. Can't remember which of them had the 'welly boot' competition but they were both awful. :mad:

Probably I guess. I tried various stubby ones and they looked OK but failed in their primary purpose. Reception.

Me too. I tried the genuine BMW one, then one from another marque, but returned to the GOAT due to loss of signal - which is weird because everyone says the FM aerial is the diversity one in the back bumper!

I fitted a Pure Highway 600 DAB tuner a while ago that had an aerial or ground that needed to be attached magnetically to inside of the roof, just under the headlining. It was mainly for bluetooth streaming from my phone, rather than listening to the radio. I assume there are better options out there nowadays.

Went for this option in end.
Very happy with look and don’t really care about signal as hardly listen to radio but will report back.

If you do a search on ebay for "Bee Sting Aerial" there are millions to choose from (y)
For what it's worth, I'd prefer something like this, (assuming the mast part can be unscrewed?) which is in between a stubby and a whippy...:
