Aŕiel routing

Anyone know the routing that the Ariel cable takes on its way from the Ariel to the radio headset on the 2003 TF?

Looking to install a new DAB radio and Ariel this weekend and would prefer to know the route before hand rather that ripping out carpets and trim un-necessarily.

Thanks for your help.

It is in the main wiring loom which runs along the sill on the passenger side and up the rear bulk head.

Thanks for the quick response as always.

Will I be needing to remove the engine access cover and Tee bar etc to feed the new coax into the bulk head or can it be fed from the boot?

Having been a radio lines communications technican, I fitted a separate dedicated 3DB gain DAB+ antenna on to opposite side (mirrored) to the OEM AM/FM antenna, the reason for this is DAB+ works much better and has much better reception range with a purpose built antenna.
The biggest problem was finding a suitable mounting base to suit the awkward angled position.
I managed to find a disconditioned line (NOS) ball mounting base from Highway One

I get consistant reception way beyond the expected coverage maps.

You don't need to remove the T bar but it will help to remove the engine cover.
