RCD510 DAB Antenna turned off

Hi,
I have a 2012 VW Touran which had an RCD310 stereo fitted originally. I have retro-fitted an RCD510 DAB and a windscreen mounted DAB antenna (Genuine Kenwood DAB-A1 internal windscreen glass mount DAB Aerial for Clarion from e bay

) which should power itself via the connection to the RCD 510. Unfortunately when I turn the radio on there is no DAB signal.
So far I have pushed and held the setup button to access the hidden screen and it appears that the DAB antenna power is turned off as per attached photo
Does anyone know how to turn on the antenna power? I assume that I'll need to use VCDS (VAGCOM) but I could use a couple of pointers please.
Thanks in advance
Simon

How have you connected it to the DAB socket on the back of the head unit as you've used the exact one show on the listing its wrong. You need one with a FAKRA connector like -
