I got one from ebay for the Mk4 - I think it was Citreon or Honda - reception is shocking from it. Having said that I've not changed it yet :smiley:
-
i have a honda s2000 one on my anni.
oh actually, i did have one until somebody stole it in portugal!
-
my reception is fine on the RNS510
-
This is mine. Not quite so stumpy, but the reception is as good as the stock aerials was. :santa:

Anyone tried a stumpy aerial with the combo shark-fin fitted on the newer Mk5's with the factory Nav or Phone Prep??
If so pic's please. :happy2:
-
Why would you want a stumpy aerial if you have a sharkfin?
-
Why would you want a stumpy aerial if you have a sharkfin?
because the new nav ariels come with a antenna which is quite long
-
Does anyone else not actually have an external aerial at all? And if you don't have an external aerial where have VW hidden it... by the way radio reception is perfect so there must be one somewhere!

I thought it was hidden in the offside A-pillar?

From MY05-MY06.5 GTIs without the satnav didn't have a radio aerial; if they had satnav they had the sharkfin.
From MY06.5+ Golfs without OEM satnav were given a beesting aerial.

heres a pic of my shark fin guys, must have the window antenna as the receptions excellent

I have a sharkfin like that on mine, how ever I never had Satnav in the car when I got it. Perhaps it is just the stations I listen to but I never thought the reception was actually that good. Either that or the stupid adapter that is needed between the cable and the Alpine unit I have in there. On the other side it does look 8) ! :wink:

Ah well that explains it! I don't have satnav and its an MY05 GTI. I rather like the more clean look without the aerial anyway! :laugh:
Thanks

It was cheaper to add a beesting aerial instead of a hidden aerial which is why VW eventually got rid of the antenna-less cars :) I think the Golf was more sleek without or with the sharkfin myself.
