If you do this use a clear part of the screen away from the heated window elements and similar looking radio aerial elements. If you fix an external aerial to the rear screen you will need to release the rear roof lining and retrieve the end of the pre-installed cable, before gluing the aerial parts to the screen.

I have carried out basic electrical and mechanical repairs on many of my own cars over the years and felt confident that I could do this job safely. I am not an electrical expert and followed the instructions in the Saab and Nokia kits with generous advice from others on various bulletin boards. What follows is a description of what I did and how I might have carried out some of the alternative options. I also chose to use an internal “Tax Disc” aerial which sticks to the inside of the windscreen, rather than fixing an external aerial on the rear screen and using the pre-installed cable.ĩ-5 models built in 1997 and early 1998 do not have a pre-installed aerial cable from behind the radio running via the roof lining to the rear window, or the pre-installed microphone.
