Question Would/have you fitted a bee sting Aerial to your Scoob?

As per title, would or have you fitted a bee sting aerial to your scoob?

Would be interested in opinions and also pics of those that have done this already - either for functional or cosmetic reasons particularly on the New Age Impreza (bug eye onwards)

Cheers

Fitted a blaupunkt combined FM/DAB bee-sting to my bug eye STi.

Went to this because the rear window demister aerial was crap for FM and we couldn't make a glass mount DAB aerial work (3 years ago). The DAB dealer persuaded me to fit it at the front of the roof because they could work thro the hole above the interior light rather than take the headlining out. Was OK but the slope of the roof here meant it ended up nearly vertical instead of sloping back which looked a bit naff.

Current car has an interior stick on the window DAB aerial which is excellent so I don't listen to FM any more so doesn't matter that the rear window demister aerial is carp. But if there was any reason to I'd happily have a beesting aerial again, mounted at the back (as photo above), but not the front.

never had a prob with the one in the back screen if its to do with when you change audio gear you just need to wire up on of the wires to the out put on the new stereo to the power ant cant remember what wire it is, but it does seam silly to put a bee sting or any other type to a car that doesnt need it. seam a bit max power to me ( old school max power)

The rear window aerial will not work with DAB, that's why.
