So are you currently getting radio, or is it only emulator that is working?

[feeutfo]

Radio is very poor, crackly, breaking up.

Emulator works, now its not paused. I only went to emulator Chanel as the radio was hopeless. The screen was displaying a track, but I was hearing nothing but static. So assumed the soldered connection had failed, and went to cd's.

Next journey, ignition off resets the emulator, so had music playing already.

Anyway, emulator now works. Radio still poor at best.

Still need to source a tri state roof aerial.

One from an Elite Estate?. NCDC and Telematics type, wouldn't look too out of place on a Saloon.

If that would work for fm/am gps and gsm, might be a simple answer.

But I thought the fm aerial was in either the side or rear window on the estate as well?

Broken glass sensors for the alarm as far as I know, early Estates used the rear heater element, later ones uses the roof Antenna, something to do with the coax breaking / wear on the rear door hinge on the early ones.

Yeah been trying to find something a bit less BMW tbh. But that might have to do.
 Be nice if it's footprint was big enough to cover the old one too.

Yep - roof antenna for FM on my Elite estate .. it's still a shocking aerial, though, with shocking reception (even worse now I've knackered it  ) - but an OE aerial base is close to £200 IIRC!

If its that bad, you have a problem.

Check the car's antenna loom is still firm in the Uphill Gardener unit - seem to remember its a wanky connector...

Estate base is too big to follow the curvature of a saloon roof, when you bolt it down the front edge doesn't touch the roof - been there, tried it, failed!
