Title: What is the proper aerial on a MK5 2006 R32?
Post by: NotMyName on 17 January 2016, 10:36: My brothers car has no aerial & it's started leaking & he's wondering if it's somehow getting in there & running down to the windscreen.

Whether this is the case or not, he'll be needing one. If not just so it doesn't look stupid.

I had a quick google but just see all manner of aerials and i suspect aftermarket ones - shark fin, stubby etc.

What is the official aerial that the car came with though?

Post by: NotMyName on 17 January 2016, 22:21: Nope. I don't think so at least anyway. I'll double check but i'm pretty sure he doesn't

Post by: AntGTD on 17 January 2016, 22:50: Is it just the antenna bit he is missing or the base as well. Is there a bit left on the roof or just a square whole.

He has the sourrround bit. It's missing the antenna, but as for what is left in the middle of that surround i'm not 100% sure.

I'll come back tomorrow with a photo.

I've had this on the GTI since 2008 without any problems. Looks the business too. No problems with reception on the radio.

Post by: bobotheclown on 19 January 2016, 16:57: Haha yeah needs a whole new sat nav antenna and housing. Plug it up with some waterproof sealent Forbes to stop any more water getting in

Post by: NotMyName on 19 January 2016, 21:51: Thanks.

What would be the process here then because it looks to me a little more than just screwing an aerial in.

Do you need to remove that whole base without damaging anything & then you'll be able to get to what you need to? Or is there more to it? Headlining need coming off? Or not that far?

Post by: barrym381 on 19 January 2016, 23:19: There is a bolt under the headlining to remove old aerial :smiley:
