348 Radio Aerial

On the early 1989's, the antenna was stuck on the back of the roof. Later 348's have the antenna inside the front windshield glass assembly.

 

I've never seen it on mine, but others may have better eyes. I'd just guess that it is wrapped around the perimeter, out of view, but what do I know.

 

Mine is a 12/1991 and i have it down the drivers side(RHD)corner of the windscreen. You can see the clear strip easily.

 

Showoff!

I went out to my 348 and measured 4 CM's from the right hand edge to the visible metal line embedded in the front windshield. If there's a clear strip, then it's really, really clear!

 

I've noted from viewing previous posts that on the 355 and 348, you can improve radio signal strength by purchasing an inexpensive telecoping antenna, and positioning it horizontally under the dash, and extending it. I have not tried this, find the radio performance at least adequate for my needs.

 

Me too Although im upset as someone before me has fitted a Sony MP3 player,and got rid of the standard cassette player. I wish it still had the cassette player in the car.

 

I should have been more specific with my 348. It was there. I got a razor blade of cut if off the screen As its not needed anymore. But when i had it there,you could easily see it

 

I only know of VD's up here mate

 

In all seriousness though,id perfer the standard cassette player,as i would never use it. Ive had the 348 since September last year and only around 1 month ago,i burnt an MP3 disc,to actually listen to some music in the car. And ive only played it a few times anyways. Id rather listen to my muffler-less exhaust note.....

 

Had a number of customers years back that wanted telescoping electric antennas installed in the left rear fender after they installed after market glass w/o the antenna. Damn sure made me pucker up drilling than hole.....
