Josh, painful as it sounds you need to mount a permanent antenna to your Dakar, the antenna cable is then connected below the vehicle surface and routed directly to the front cab, after which the Antenna Connector is then fitted.

If you take the cluster out, measure the voltage across the cluster lights. If this measures less than 12v you should be able to sort something out but if it is indeed 12, then you need to put higher-wattage bulbs in the cluster.
