    THIS is the one that came with the Focus originally (if it was fitted with a DAB radio in the first place)

    Whether or not it's the 'best' is open for discussion, though!

    I've fitted a Pioneer powered DAB (windscreen type) aerial to mine and I'm generally pretty happy with it considering it only cost about £14.

    I've noticed however, that in certain areas the signal will drop out where as when I've been in the same geographic area in newer cars that have a factory fit DAB, they've managed to hold onto the signal for longer/without losing the signal.

    For general use in areas with a strong signal I can't fault it, not when a really good powered external DAB aerial was over £60.
