   where is the best place to hide it in the roof when using a blanking plug i was thinking down the side of the roor or in the space which the cable runs through normally?
   
   but how should i secure this to the roof?
   
   thanks

   could always put the aerial behind your windscreen pillar, or buy an internal glass mounted one.

   You really buy a power 'flat' aerial, you can get them from Halfords.
   
   It has a booster in it and you have hook it up inside the interior light housing.
