Ford focus mk2 facelift aerial

[BigAl85]

Hi guys. I’m needing help with buying the correct aerial. I pick up next to nothing on fm. Been told to get a genuine Ford one with base and cable. I can’t find anything anywhere. eBay says they fit, but when I pick the item. It says doesn’t fit. Can anybody help me find one please.

Do you have DAB as well or just FM?

Just fm.

In that case you need a base with a female interior connector and a rod with a female connector.

DAB bases have a male interior connector and a rod with a male connector.  Obviously the two can't be mixed.  The eBay compatibility guide won't be able to distinguish which ones fit your car.

There are a few options and it seems that the part numbers have been superseded since the public parts catalogues became available.

If you put your VIN into catcar, that should show the parts your car was built with, though I think they'll have been superseded anyway.

My best guess for the parts you need would be these two.  Though I can't be totally sure without access to current parts catalogues.

Base - 1087087 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256398693554?

Rod - 1948182 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393512239551?

That's probably no longer true 🤣

Well, I guess anything's possible after a trip to Ann Summers!

Thanks for help on this I’ll try catcar and see what happens.
