Anyone installed one of these, thinking of using one when i do my double din install.

Not installed a shark fin, but I have installed a normal DAB roof mounted aerial. Reception is way better than the self adhesive glass mounted aerial.

I installed near the back of the roof so I could get my hand between the headlining and the roof to pull the cables through. Then just ran the cables to the drivers side, along the top of the doors and down the a pillar.

Could you send a link to the antenna you used? Thanks

I bought one like this Car Universal Roof Mount Active Amplified DAB + FM Radio Car Antenna Aerial Mast 6971585562051 | eBay

Works pretty well although I haven't connected up the FM output. I am still using the original FM input into the radio but I will change over in the summer and see if that also works well.

Add a little grease to the seal before installing on the car to help keep water out. I had a very minor leak until I did this.
