Classic Saab 9-5 (MY 1998-2010) / Re: Shark Fin Antenna

I got it from Bluespot Car Audio. But it was a while ago (late 2009) - illness and winter weather prevented me fitting it before. I'm not sure if it's still available. I chose it because if had the Fakra connectors to match the Saab ones on the GPS and Carphone. I ran a new cable all the way to the front for the radio aerial as I never found the special clip-in connector that is used by Saab at the rear amplifier. It has a built in amp for the AM signal. I used a supply that is ignition controlled at the rear, but it does mean that you don't get the AM amplifier powered if you sit in the car with the radio on and the engine and ignition off, even if the key is left in.
If you can't get that one, there's a similar one from Panorama, but it doesn't have the same connectors and will need a bit of soldering or crimping.
