Please can someone tell me where the FM/AM aerial is located in the vehicle please?

Also if the antenna is amplified/boosted or not?

Thanks

 

The AM/FM radio antenna are the wires above the defroster grid toward the top of the rear window glass.

 

Thanks. Do you know if its an amplified antenna please? I'm asking because I want to install a DAB converter, which generally don't work with boosted aerials.

EDIT... Looks like it is... ANTENA MODULE 86300-53170 :-(

 

Sorry, I'm not sure about that, but perhaps someone on your side of the pond will chime in with DAB converter compatibility. Here in the US, our digital FM is called "HD radio", and I know that several companies like iSimple and Grom sell kits to integrate it with the Lexus IS audio system.

Are the DAB stations simulcast on the internet? If so, another solution (cheaper but less convenient) may be to stream the content to your mobile phone, and then on to the car audio using an inexpensive Bluetooth adapter.

 

Yea, that's always an option. TuneIn radio or various stations "Apps". Eats up data and lacks convenience tho. ;-)
