Does anyone know if its poss to get a colour coded shark fin fitted?
New gtiMK6 in candy white arriving shortly (we hope) and the only thing I'm a bit dissappointed about will be the "black blob" sitting on an unblemished sparkling white roof.
Dealer tells me its not poss to get it colour coded via factory, so can it be retro-painted? Big job? Too much trouble? Mask the whole car up and spray it? Any specialist painters like "chips-away" worth contacting? Or should I just get used to it?.......
perhaps I'm being too petty. Any help greatly appreciated folks.
By the by; Audi, BM, Volvo, Merc all do colour coded fins, why not VW?....

'scuse my ignorance; but what is the roof aeriel for? I have RNS510 and Bluetooth Premium (retrofits) but no need for a roof aeriel. Is this for DAB radio?
-
They look ace in black on a white car IMHO

I thought it was for the GPS and GSM arials for factory fit Sat Nav and Bluetooth. :undecided:

How would an aerial for bluetooth work?

It's for the gps from factory, the Bluetooth antenna is always inside the car :wink:

Dull question, but wht does it have an antenna?
I've had hard wired phone kits with an antenna, as that is physically connented to the phone, but none of the aftermarket bluetooth ones have had them.

Got my car in July Bluetooth does not have shark fin.

Same here. And I've since retro fitted an RNS with the GPS aerial stuck in the dash and I've perfect signal... So I'm not sure what the point of the shark fin is??
I think the old bluetooth system that wasn't iPhone compatible had a shark fin aerial. Newer BT doesn't.

It's for use with the rSap as the car kit becomes the phone and therefore requires an antenna, you can send texts, use it as a modem and the reception is much better than a non rSap kit.
Nokia did a brilliant bluetooth kit called a 616 that used rSap and you had to fit an antenna with those, the reception was also mega :wink:

But mine is rSAP and it all works brilliantly without a shark fin!? Same with the RNS. Steve P fitted mine; perhaps VW should ask him to design their next factory install :smiley:

I have an 09 reg with the shark fin, with a rcd510 and the touch bluetooth kit,
if i put a RNS510 in is the shark fin for gps also or only bluetooth.
-
I have 2009 gti with Rns 510 and it has a colour coded sharkfin on the roof.
It didn't come with Bluetooth , so fiscon was fitted afterwards, so I guess the sharkfin is for the gps

Got mine in Sept, does,nt have a shark fin on. vw bluetooth is excellent. Think the aerial is in the rear window?
