... or go the Holden Antenna.

DAB+ means Digital Audio Broadcast, nothing to do with DTV.

If you are running the factory head-unit, keep in mind that many run dual-diversity antennas meaning special plug into the radio. You can confirm by looking at the rear-passenger side glass for the antenna element (looks like a demister coil).

Oops brain must have been on the blink.

You could buy a powered 12v antenna like the ones
used in hotrods and have it high up on the inside of the windshield.
Similar to a single wire taped up high, still good reception or down low
personal preference on placement, The antenna on my camper is a single wire

Any actively boosted antennas can help but also cause more problems. To start with, you have to have a clean signal, weak is fine but as long as it is clear. If you run a booster it will boost all it hears. Unfortunately, this means if there is nearby noise either be a frequency near the FM band (VHF-low band) or other signals that are unwanted, these will get boosted as well. The trick is keeping the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) good.

Compromised antennas (stubby rubber dildo's, short wire whips or those run in windows, roof cavities and the likes will also be a low performer. Not much chop for fringe areas.

The standard radio is dual diversity and is OK for reception. That being said, they still suck at time.

The GME AEM2 (the bigger one) and AEM3 (smaller one) do work OK, just make sure they are away from other antennas.

As for the VMS more info please, never heard of it.

Yeah I wanted an all in one system so did quite a bit of research. There was basically the Hema one or the VMS one. The VMS system just does more and seemed to be a bit better. Basically it's a CD/DVD player, radio, Bluetooth and also has both on road and off road maps. Really nice. These are the details: http://www.vms4x4.com/collections/in...nissan-general.

Not bad looking units. Mind you, I haven't found a sat-nav unit that beats my phone and google maps.
