RCD 300 issue
« on: 17 June 2012, 18:57 »
Hi,
I've just bought a '06 plate mk5 Golf GTI and I am having problems with the RCD300 radio.
I have good FM reception, but no AM reception. It simply scans all the time, but does not pick up any stations.
I have run a test by holding down the menu button and it says that ANT1 is 'OFF' and ANT2 is 'ON'.
Signal strength shows as 'POOR'.
I've read that there are 2 aerials in the car, but I'm don't know how to acesss either.

Any ideas on how to turn ANT 1 on and would this help solve the problem?
All ideas gratefully received.

Thanks,
Newboy 78
