Dab aerial converter

[~Alex~]

Greetings,

I've just purchased a JVC KD LHX-601 dab head unit which has been fitted to
my normal FM aerial and is working fine, albeit with no dab stations.

I was considering getting a combined DAB/FM antenna
(http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/shop.php?category=%2Fdab%2F&product=1540)
but apart from the fact they are like gold dust, I don't really fancy trying
to get the old aerial out and fitting the new one (into a 99 Fiat Bravo)

However, when I got the HU, the bloke in the shop mentioned that there was a
new product coming out which pligged into the socket of the FM aerial and
split the signal into DAB and FM without the need to fit a new aerial.
I've since found one of these on eBay
(http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1498&item=5791722024&rd=1)
and wondered if anyone had any experience of using these, or should I go for
a separate antenna, such as the Blaupunkt on-glass models?

Any ideas?

TIA,
ALex

I'd suspect he was probably talking about the Autoleads PC6-536, which
looks to be very similar to the part on eBay. We should hopefully have
some of these in soon, but I'd be very interested to hear if anyone's
had any experience with them as yet, particularly in lower DAB
coverage areas.
