Default Dab window antenna

Hi. I have a x358 2008 car and I am trying to find out if I have the dab antenna option in my rear window. I find the am/fm amplifier witch is connected to some thin antenna stripes by two snap clips an it's connected to the heating stripes ny other two snap clips. I have bought a dab antenna amplifyer. Does it connect to one of these or is it supposed to be another connector and antenna stripe for the dab option on the window?



Best regard ole mobeck

I hadn't seen this thread until now, apologies for the delayed response, but having done the same as you hopefully, if you haven't already resolved the issue, the photos below will help.
They were taken on the other C-pillar to the one in your picture.

Once DAB aerial amp fitted and plugged into the green plug on the window.


Hopefully this helps you.

Ah ... so the button to which the DAB amp connects is on the RHS
of the car
, whereas the AM/FM amp connects on the LHS end of the screen ?

Yes, if you're sitting inside the car, the DAB button on the rear screen is on the RHS. Should be marked with "green" below it, and should be fitted to all X358s. I believe on the earlier models this point was used for the VICS antenna in Japan.
