That's correct The Roof Fin housed both the Sat Nav & Mobile Phone Aerials until the 2010 model

No, It's on the roof as per the pic on Warren G's reply. The one he's shown is the pre 2010 version. The current ones are smaller due to the lack of the Mobile Phone part. Cars without Satnav Do not have the Roof Fin fitted at all. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black 2013 Evoque 5 Door Pure Tech SD4 - Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof (Mrs E's new baby) GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010) GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007) GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black |

Ah ha. So it looks like I'll have to replace the whole sharks fin antenna assembly? Is it easy to remove? I guess I'll need to pull the headlining down at the back in order to gain access to the underside. Anyone done that?

You will have to pull the headlining down then it unbolts. This pic might help

My current RRS is a MY09 but it is the shallower fin - if the BT is not in there now where is it? |

Your BT phone module is hidden between the headliner and the roof. Malaysia Boleh!

I wasn't reffering to the BT module. The Aerial Fin on the roof of pre 2009 cars held a seperate Aerial for the Mobile Phone which was connected when your mobile was physically plugged in to the Phone Cradle which used to be located under the flip cover of the centre console tray/fridge assembly. When the phone was connected via this cradle it did not use BT at all. Since the 10MY edition of the car (maybe also 09MY, but I'm not sure) it has been done away with and the car now ONLY uses BT hence the smaller roof top Fin. Hope this clears up the confusion. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black 2013 Evoque 5 Door Pure Tech SD4 - Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof (Mrs E's new baby) GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010) GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007) GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black |

Shrinky, that's a very helpful pic, thanks for posting it. Do you happen to know which cable is the satnav/gps aerial, pink or blue?
