According to our DAB(+) antenna expert
With the Pioneer DAB + antenna you receive the digital radio signal everywhere. Even in Kallenkote, Mortsel and Heinkenszand. True? Right, really everywhere. Connect it to the antenna input, mount the antenna easily on your car window with the supplied sticker and the listening pleasure can begin!

I was fairly dubious about purchasing the Pioneer DAB+ antenna based on the mediocre satisfaction of other reviews. Anyway, I took the gamble and don't regret it at all.
Crystal clear reception without a grain of noise. Definitely worth the purchase!
But to get it nice and working properly I may have a few tips for every new owner of this beautiful device.
The grounding strip/copper sticker: This may be too short as mentioned in another review. With a little creativity, this can easily be solved with good results. By means of copper foil or home-garden-and-kitchen aluminum foil. If you make/fold an extension of the foil, you can use this to extend the grounding strip of the DAB+ antenna to the body of the car. Stick the foil with simple tape/duct tape. (Make sure that the copper is on the foil for as large a part/surface as possible.) In most cases you can easily hide the foil out of sight.
Bad reception/noise? Highly recommended for any installation in a car that needs an earthing/ground/ground; sand your contact bare down to the metal. Many cars nowadays have a nice thick paint on the metal, this provides a lot of resistance for the antenna and the ground to create a good signal. So make sure that the place where the earthing strip is stuck has been sanded down to the metal and then carefully degreased and cleaned. Do NOT try to touch the strip/copper with your fingers and stick it in place immediately.
Mounting tips: Tape the dimensions on the outside of your car window with painter's tape and where you want to place it. This makes for easier installation. Don't forget to clean and degrease the inside of your window well before sticking the antenna to your window. Also make sure you check everything before you peel off and stick the stickers. Hold it on your windshield a few times to see if it all fits the way you want.
During my installation I was quite frustrated and it didn't want to work. Earthing strip too short etc.. I tried to re-stick the antenna 3-4 times and in the end still got it working perfectly. Hopefully, based on the few relatively easy tips, you will avoid this and have a lot of fun doing it.
Incidentally, these tips about sanding bare, etc. can also be used for other applications. Other DAB+ antennas, external amplifiers for your sound system in the car, etc.

The product is not easy to install in all cars. If you have a car with the windows still covered in rubber, the grounding strip is too short to reach over the rubber.
Because it is an active antenna, not only is the signal amplified, but also interference. As a result, the reception of many stations is often interrupted briefly despite a lot of signal. In some parts of the Netherlands, reception is not possible with this antenna.
An inactive roof antenna solves all these problems. In addition, you can receive more channels with this.

After a lot of trying, I found the right digital channels. The antenna works perfectly, is of very good quality. The only downside I think; way too expensive for something like that.
