Good video, I haven't had great results with the CA-DAB 001, infact I've fitted two that led to a message on the radio saying antenna error. Some info I found says turn the antenna power off, which weakens the signal but makes it work but a poor signal or constant drop off. Turn the antenna power on and antenna fault message appears. I tend to use the Autoleads one from Halfords, it's got a coax and single black wire to be powered from a 12 volt source. I've had the best results with these ones. The passive or active splitter ones from China are bad, just open the black box and see what the board and solder look like. I wouldn't want that in my car. Because of how the A pillar trim goes on, don't put the black box too close to the pillar, it makes getting the trim back on difficult. Good video
No, you can orientate it either way. It is probably better vertical and the earth tab needs to be stuck over part of the metal of the van. There is no need to remove the paint since the paint has sufficiently low impedance at radio frequencies.
love your curtains
Great information thanks Kevin, seems like you need patience and know how to get what you want!, very helpful, cheers

Does it matter the tail facing downwards
