DAB Ariel install

I am after some advice on how to route the DAB Ariel cable from the windscreen down under dash and into the radio.
I had thought that I could route it down from the screen by the passenger side corner near the pillar.  But do not see any space there to do so.

How have other people done this?  Also would like to do the same with a hands free Mic. I don't want to alter the dash at all.

Thanks!

Hi,
On my tintop I fitted a DAB ready b-sting on the rear of the roof and route through the car.
On the wife's cabby I bought a convertor to allow me to use the original aerial in the wing for DAB signals.

Thanks - whats the signal like with the converter of the orig aerial?  Also did not know they existed - sounds like a great idea!! - Found one on line.  Seems cheaper than a standard DAB stick on aerial.
Also still need to route the MIC cable from radio behind the dash to perhaps the sunvisor etc. any advice on the route would be appreciated.

Reception is superb.
We have this one:

On the mic wire, mine runs under the pillar headlining trim and  then windscreen rubber

Thanks.  I tried routing mine the same way but cannot see a route past the dash, pillar and bulkhead.  Was hoping that I could perhaps undo the bolts on the edge of the dash - but not enough movement.

Pull the trim off around the door edge and slide it under there and then down behind the carpet and up into the dash.

Great Thanks!!!

On my Blue Tooth that had the external Mic, I routed it behind the Dash and placed it on the edge of the Drivers side door of the dash, I filed out the area needed for the cable in the headlight housing of the beezel and the cover plate with a hand file and affixed it to the side of the dash with 3m weather stripping tape.  It kept it on my Cabriolet out of the wind.

Very neat!!
