If you are intent on switching the the shark fin you will have to also fit an aftermarket FM aerial in one of you rear side windows, the shark fin only functions as a GPS antenna

No offense but i can't beleive noone has figured out how to retro fit the Shark fin to also work as an antenna. Can't you just drill a hole into the shark fin and put the antenna in it? The cables should already be running to that area.

I'm sure someone must have tried this before. If not then i guess i'll be the first. Anybody have a part number for just the shark fin or maybe even the Cell phone one that some people have talked about. I can imagine the GPS Antenna one might be a bit expensive.
