    urS6 Saloon - Radio Ariel Booster Location ?

    Does anyone have any information on the location of any possible oem booster for the signal from the radio ariel in a urS6 saloon.

    I understand it uses the heated rear window element as an ariel.

    Thanks for any help.

      Just wanted to resurrect this thread, as I 'now' want to fix my poor radio reception.

      My saloon has no D pillar.

      Keen to only take part the right area of the car the once.

      Thanks for any help from anyone who's parted out a C4 saloon and may have noticed where it is etc..

          I think it's under headliner near where the antenna is.

            Why don't you just get a digital antenna for a tenner and be done with it?

              It's a saloon with no ariel other than the heated Rear Window 'ariel'.

                    I think the correct spelling for what you are looking for is "aerial". "Ariel" is something (body) else (be patient, I get to your question in a moment):



                    Sorry about that.

                    On to the real answer:

                    Grillage on my home forum (quattroworld) posted awhile back and said:

                    "Here's what my bentley says about which lines are for which band...

                    For the front:


                    For the rear:



                    But the front info is wrong for my 95.5 S6 so I didn't dig deeper yet "


                    That was the end of it. A 95.5 is a US 1996 UrS6 that was build between July 1, 1995 and Dec 31, 1995.

                    I have 2 UrS4s so I have no direct UrS6 info to share (Sorry).
