I'm considering replacing the existing "whip" aerial on our R56-S with the more stubby looking "Mini Sport". Despite a bit of searching, I can't find anything that says whether it's suitable for DAB (as well as FM). The official Mini website notes that AM might not be brilliant, but doesn't touch on DAB

This is the sorr of thing:

Brand New Genuine MINI Sport Short Aerial Antenna 65202296772 5056162806832 | eBay

Part number 65202296772. Suitable for all MINI models R50 - R60 and the latest model F55 and F56. This is in order to provide an efficient service and avoid any confusion. Item specifics. New arrivals.

Does anyone know/has anyone tried it with DAB? iirc DAB frequencies are approximately double that of regular FM so I'd hate to put something on the car which made DAB reception worse!

Thanks,

Steve

Yes it works fine, I have had one on two of my MINI’s, just need to get round to swapping it onto my latest one.
