I saw a mini while in Jersey with the shark fin that the new bmw's have. Anyone know where i can buy one or can you only have one if you have satnav?

I think its for the GPS receiver, cars with sat nav have the aerial in the rear side window.

Michael - BDM is right - you can buy the mini shark fin separately, but unless you intend fitting a separate aerial for your radio somewhere on the car then it's not really gonna be anything other than for show.

Oh well, thats a bit poo. I guess I will just get a shorter aeriel as i hate the way the standard one sticks up into the air.
