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.

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:
sssh; it's 'only a diesel'; but i love it!

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
