Where is the aerial for the TV?

Does anyone know where the aerial is fitted for the TV reception? I am thinking of installing freeview, and would like to know the best way to install an aerial. I previously thought that it was the fin on the roof, before finding out that that was for the PTI.

Any help appreciated.

All the radio and TV aerials are in the rear side glass... they are not heating elements ya know Wink

GPS is in the top level third brake light and the phone is in the fin.

Thanks Guys.

My only hope now is that the aerial is actually wired to the dash.

I do like to catch songs of praise when i'm out and about.

England 

there a four tv arials, two each side (I think they are PAL I & II, NTSC & Secam), so you only need PAL for the UK. They are not like normal TV arials, in so much as you just plug them in. If there isnt a foil connection coming down out of the roof lining onto the glass, then the amps arent fitted, and these then connect to a TV control unit. All in all, big bucks if not there as standard.

With all that stuff in the back of the D3, why is the FM reception so poor ? Shocked

Is it possible to retro-fit TV functionality or does it need to be plumbed in at the factory?

Sorry if I have missed the thread that explains this !
