Roof antenna
The other day I saw my first non-pano roof equipped Evoque and noticed that it had a black roof antenna that the cars with a pano roof don't have. The antenna is the mobile phone/ satnav plastic dome - in the cars with a panoramic roof this is fitted in the tailgate spoiler "bump" but on non pano roof cars it's a little black dome on the main roof. I wonder why they didn't just fit it in the spoiler bump same as pano roof equipped cars? One less hole to leak in future years and less cost to LR by not having two different parts for same job.

RE: Roof antenna
Good point FFT. I just saw one too in Madrid but didn't think about it. Here's a photo I took of a red Pure with a black antenna:

RE: Roof antenna
Well, if you think about it, spraying the cover with metallic paint will cover it with an array of metallic particles which will partially shield it from external radio waves.

RE: Roof antenna
Yes ,it's the transmitter for the wireless headphones which should be in the glove box if you have the system fitted
