A big thanks to Jeff and Ronnie for helping me get the radio working on Gruple

Spent most of the day fitting a new aerial in the passengers side A pillar (which has got airbags fitted) and then earthed it, had to drill a very small hole in A pillar and then use a self tapper, then ran wires in behind dash, and all out of sight, then connected aerial to back of Navall 2, as that is not getting a signal from the Shark Fin aerial, and new aerial is now getting a signal for both the TV and Radio, have temporarily ran power to main loom for audio, but am going to piggy back it to the 15amp No 33 Fuse, once my fuse piggyback arrives

So thanks again to two great guys for your help in person and by PM

Everything now works

Glad you got that little issue sorted Stu.
I thought it was an issue between the shark fin and head unit.

You'll be able to get a bit of Ken Bruce on now

Think the problem is that the aerial was not getting a 12 volt feed, and after having a quick look decided, and not finding an amp in the side window, it would be better to fit a new aerial, that way I know where all the wiring was, and did not cost too much, just need to wait until I get a mini piggy back fuse for a more permanent fix
