Just finished fitting a new antenna on the vito, GPS/DAB/FM with custom made coax with fakra ends from here
Combi Antenna DAB/GPS/AM/FM | DAB Radio Antennas | Antennas

It works fantastic!, I have 7 satellites in seconds and now auto store avalable on the tuner.
No Dab yet fitted but the wire is in place.
On the NTG 2.5 I used two wires for the radio, the din still fitted to the screen and factory amp and another goes to the rear roof mount antenna, I also pulled a power to it from the front stock amp, so now the diversity tuner works as it should.

Great company to deal with as well.
 
Hi Zenman,

Did it replace your existing antenna , any chance of a picture, thinking about a new antenna on my sprinter at some point
 
I did not replace it as the stock antenna is in the screen, this is an extra antenna with GPS & DAB & FM, it's fitted at the rear with 6M coax to the front made for the job.
Works great, I get TMC on the nav and a full auto store.
It still struggles with radio 2 at home so must be a very week signal, but when found it stay and not scratchy at all.
GPS is also much better, 9 satellites at times, never seen that with the old antenna, 5 at best I think.
