One pictured is bee sting one. That's GM, shark fin looks totally different 

Sure some came with it just because, my dads 2.2 came with it. Never has GPS or Phone, came like,that from factory!

Also depends on the base, if just a stick it's GSM only I think. If they have a fatter base, that means they do GPS.

Nothing to do with radio tunes 

Car's with phone preparation had the 1/4 wave unity gain antenna (GSM 900Mhz) and telephone prewiring taped up behind the glovebox.

Probably never fitted on the Desmond to save on weight, power to weight ratio thing and all that sort of stuff.

but being manual,  it has the ability to carry a few extra pounds... especially with the racing snake at the wheel

The rear screen Amp and Aerial dont do a bad job if Im honest, could be, bad earth on Amp, no volts to Amp, Cracks / Breaks in rear screen, does it get better or worse with the rear screen heater on / off.

Dont think ive ever tried the radio with the rear screen heater on . I will try it tomorrow morning . Suppose to be a sharp frost anyhoo

Tried the radio with the rear screen heater on and the reception gets worse , almost cuts the signal out

Amplifier needs replacing then...

Out of curiosity, is this the car that you bodged the rear blind into?

The radio reception was the same before i put the blind in .

I asked as you might inadvertently disturbed the aerial wiring

Could simply be that the amp wiring has worked loose over time... But given as the only way to access it is to remove the shelf, you might as well replace with known good... There's also a connection on the C post behind the side bolster and another behind the drivers kick panel

I remember what a pain it was to get that parcel shelf cover
off  Maybe a job for the summer now and listen to the cassettes for now ..
