    DAB radio in A6 C5, how to?

    Hi, I just bought a China-version of the RNS-E sat-nav, which is surprisingly good so far:

    The problem is the two antenna cables in the A6, it is a diversity antenna. I could only attach one cable, and didnt get any radio at all. So I thought perhaps I can install a DAB radio adapter instead.

    Anybody knows what I will need? Not sure if I can use any of the two original antenna cables or if I need a new window-mounted one. These are the antenna cable contacts on the old Symphony player:

    And, perhaps needless to say, I am not looking for one of those dash-mounted DAB radios powered by the cigarette lighter. Looking for something to hide in the dash, and getting DAB on the China-player :)

    You may need something like this:

    Most people think of these radios as total crap, but I saw some better models recently (at least judging by their specs). Does you have Hi-res (1200x800) screen and dual core processor?

    That wont work in a C6. This is the proper adapter.

    The best reception is achieved by using a window mounted antenna.

    Looks like the same part to me, but I am sure yours is better, because it costs more

    Wow, that's harsh. Did Christian piss in your Wheaties or something?

    BTW - those don't look the same to me, as the Enfig harness has an additional cable in it.

    Thanks a lot! That additional adapter is what I havent found so far and I think thats what I need. Only challenge is where to fit it, as I cant even fit the head unit properly as it is because of all the cables. And btw, I have a C5, but I still think this is what I need.
