Side Screen Antenna

The antenna is printed into the rear side screen. For NAS and Japan, the element is fitted in both rear side screens. This is referred to as a diversity antenna system. Other markets have a single element in the right hand screen only. Diversity reception means that as vehicle movement results in loss of signal due to reflections from buildings (known as multipath distortion), the radio will switch to the antenna receiving the strongest signal. This results in less interference and better stereo performance.
