I am looking to replace the radio with a DAB header unit and so will need to replace the arial. Where can I find a wiring route as Im guessing with the glass roof it is not going to be an easy job.
Any help or advice is appreciated please.

This is the route in the J11 but I guess it will be quite similar.
So it follows to roof just beneath the roof rails.

Do you know if you have to change the wiring to get DAB support, or is it enough to swap the antenna?
If you had to change all of it, how did it go, was it difficult or fairly easy?
Which antenna did you go with?
I'm interested in maybe eventually looking at changing the antenna to get DAB support (which my new head unit supports) but was hoping it'd be as easy as swapping the antenna part and use the same wiring.
Looking forward to your insights!

A bit late...
As I always had J11's the DAB was already there so I changed nothing.
I hesitated though to install a shark fin on my J11a but then the DAB would be lost or less and before doing this mod I swapped the car for a J11b.
