Just to answer my own question, in case anyone else is wondering - it doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference whatsoever!

When you say it doesn't seem to make any difference....
1. Is that with the fake sharks fin fitted?
2. Is it just the radio which uses the ariel?
3. If 2 is no, have you tested other connectivity at all?
I'd like to fit one of these and at the price, was going to just try it, but happy to learn from others

My testing has purely been with the arial removed - I found a better (to me!) looking fin that is currently winging - or swimming - it's way from the States. Princely sum of £3.75 inc postage
I'm planning on nicking the idea of more expensive ones, and running some wire around the inside of it and bolting that into the base...
I'm not sure if anything else uses the arial signal, but I've had no problem with the sat nav or the phone, which are the only other things I could think would use it.

i would think the sat nav will use a differant receiver, they usually have a gps receiver located somewhere else for the nav systems on most cars.
I'd thought the same thing... but I was looking at this one:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190687786572?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
-When you fit it can you do a 'how to' guide? That's the part thats been putting me off; actually getting to it to swap it over......

See - this is what drives me nuts about this pigging adiction...
Wake up early to get to my desk and I just have to check what's being discussed, two bloody clicks later and I'm buying stuff on evil bay.
I'm not sure who is going to kill me first, the wife or the postman....

I was pressured into it by forum members above
Not sure if people have noticed but thee is a bit of negative feedback for the guys in the link above, but so far their communication and dispatch time is great - let's see what it looks like when it arrives....

Does this work as an aerial tho` or is it a style add on? On the US forum a guy bought a VG(virtual garage) one, that clipped over the existing mount (stalk removed) and i`m sure that was USD 80
Wouldn`t mind one tho` and the spoiler will get painted next week so may do this as well.
I`ve started getting things sent to works address, missus still thinks i`ve lost the plot!

Hmm, getting things sent to work to hide this may be classed as an admission that you have

You may well be right I'm 52 years old and sometimes think I really ought to have a word with myself
