There was no difference in reception where I am when I fitted the stubby one.

^^ Mine has it in the rear window and the reception is perfect.  IIRC the cars with factory satnav (even the MY04/5) had a sharkfin for GPS.
........mine is as well. :cool:

I got the stubby citroen one and it fits fines and reception is good too. I can still get magic fm (london radio station that does cheesy music but strangely all the cars I have been in has it on their pre-sets) all the way up on the M1 j10.

Whilst we are talking about changes early models (like mine :D :D :D) came with the 10 speaker setup, ariel in the rear window and silver ash tray cover.

Thats all I can think of for now, anyone know anymore?

Blue tinted glass, 3 reading lamps at the front and a rocker switch to switch the interior sensor / inclination sensor for the alarm off.  Newer models only have one button for the interior sensor  :nerd:

My05 had the aerial in the rear window. It was removed as part of the cost cutting exercise to make the car cheaper to make. A few ££ here and there makes a big difference on high production cars.

Erm, I think you'll find ALL Mk5s have the arial in the rear glass, irrespective of weather they have an additional one on the roof.  Factory fitted SatNag and/or phone prep will definately give you an additional roof aerial - usually a shark fin, but there seems to be no consistency in this.
