Shark fin is only for Sat Nav, The FM aerial on the R53's is on the drivers side rear passenger window and looks like a heater element like on the rear windscreen.

Is this a shark fin aerial? This is on my 57 plate Dooper - no Sat Nav, but do have USB/Bluetooth. So what does this 'extra' bit do for me?

I believe the new R56 aerial bases allow for a seamless installation of Sirius satellite radio, which means you don't have to have an ugly "wart" antenna on your roof.

Four of my pals have R56s - 2 Doopers, 1 Cooper and 1 Cooper S. Mine is the only one with this aerial base. Even my dealer was stumped!
