If no blue connector, the shark fin may have the un-used port. Or aftermarket antenna in the dash can also work.

I don't know about European DAB. US uses the same antenna for alll radio.
Thanks mate, just got a combox, dab diversity antenna, glovebox usb, arm rest aux\usb, some wires and connectors to make the screen and Combox harnesses and I’m good to go.

I couldn’t see the any connections in the boot\ trunk. I’ve heard the shark fin may have the gps antenna already but I’m not sure how I’d access it, do you know if the roof lining comes down as a panel or is it like loose cloth?, I’ve bought a gps antenna which I was going to mount under the dash towards the window.
