Auris icon MK2 1.6 petrol, 2013 DAB antenna

Hi all,

New here as I've just purchased an Auris (as per the title).

This will be my first Toyota (once it's prepped and I've picked it up) which I've heard many good things about.

The only thing I could find wrong with the car was that the roof Ariel has been unscrewed and lost at some stage.

I've tried tirelessly to find replacements online but I can't locate specific part numbers and from the used parts I can find I can't tell which are genuine and which are aftermarket.

Does this aerial provide DAB signal to the car or is it just am/FM and the DAB aerial located elsewhere. This is where my confusion starts as I seem to know what the standard aerial looks like (long, thin with spiral pattern around with smooth cylinder near the top) but don't know if this picks up DAB or if there is a DAB variant that looks completely different.

Thanks in advance,

Graham.

Are you sure it's not a shark's fin ?

if its a whip aerial FM and DAB come from the same aerial

Hi flash22,

 

Thank you for responding and sorry for the late reply, I thought nobody had responded but seems I had email notifications switched off.

The base of the aerial was still in place, it was just the antenna that had been unscrewed so definitely a whip style and not a sharks fin.

It turns out the garage that I bought the car from ordered and replaced the aerial. They assured me over the phone that it would be an genuine replacement, but when I turned up it was clearly an aftermarket item. But alas so far the FM and dab signal has been ok. I dare say once I travel a bit further afield it won't be as effective as the original part but time will tell.

Thanks again 🙂
