Little Black Ariel
« on: 02 June 2008, 17:48:53 »
On my 52 plate cd there is a little bee sting type ariel at the back of the roof ( its only about 2 inches long ).... i thought the omegas radio ariel was built in to the rear screen ?.... there is no sign of a phone ever been fitted to the car so what is this little ariel for ??   Pointless question i know but its getting the better of me now  :y

I've got one... I can only guess that it's for the phone?

I'm fairly sure the TM doesn't have an external ariel... I had the little bu99er off yesterday as well... Should have looked to see what lost signal! I know it wasn't the radio because I was still listening to it!

The base (the fat lumpy bit at the bottom) is the GPS reciever, whilst the short bee-sting aerial is a GSM phone aerial.

Your car may not have a phone fitted, but the wiring loom is there for if you were to fit a hands-free car kit and it is connected to this aerial.

Its a cellular aerial, and just means your car has been prewired for a phone kit.  A significant proportion of mni facelift on cars are prewired.

On my TM i found the aerial behind the heater control panel a black and red wire. Also the aerial on my roof has a phone aerial cable attach to it to which the other end is behind the kick panel on the drivers side.
