if they didnt get the car cit, it'll have the button looking cover..
if they did get the kit, it'll have an aerial about 8 or 9 inches long |

It was a special digi kit Ford had.
From memory, the aerial alone cost $140. (hence, most put aftermarket kits in) D

Mine was optioned with the car kit, and has the antenna still on the roof... The actual car kit is long gone, the only reminders are some unused plugs in the boot wiring loom and three screw holes in the T-bar surround...
When I finish my in car PC, it'll become the antenna for the TV tuner

It's to plug the hole where they blow up the standard models to the larger size

Just wondering if anyone had some information on what made up the rest of the "car kit" on these models? My FbT has the aerial and the little cappa stand next to the shifter ... but I have no idea what other peices would be installed? I assume there is a computer somewhere to control it? Is it for Analogue or Digital mobile phones?
Any info would be great ...

The rest was supplied by the owner to suit their own phone. D

does anyone know what the genuine aerial looked like?
scored an aerial today from a DL LTD, it was just sitting in the glovebox and the owner gave it to me and i suspect it may be the one from the fenuine kit..... can anyone confirm?

All the LTD had the kit from Factory I thought and fairlane with optional. I have a DF LTD and had the kit but has long gone just like Fairlane_Ghia I still have th cables for it but no ariel. I want the ariel as it looks crap with out it so if anyone knows where abouts I can get one cheap let me know.
Cheers Mark
