Thats a good point,but i would still like it i saw one of these ariels on an ED30 in the vw showroom and it looked good,i just need to know what parts i need to do this :huh:
You only need the new aerial arrangement and the gps lead, however you have to take all the headlining off in the cabin to run the cable and people often report a total loss of AM reeception after fitting it  :sick: Not to mention the hassle this creates with haing to refit the headlining etc. There are a few DIY's around if you search the usual forums.

OT for which I apologise. How is the am reception with the shark fin?? I am looking to put this on my gti, purely for looks, but couldn't stand to loose radio 5 live!!!

I put one of these on my car the day I got it!  Unfortunately I get no AM reception at all - which really hacks me off... but I cant be bothered changing it back!

The one im speaking about is a new type of ariel it has the shark fin and the bee sting combined into one so you shouldn't lose any radio reception!!!

I have the Sat Nav in my car, not an after market fit, but I don't have the shark fin just a standard antena. What is the norm?

I have a 2007MY car and it came with the sharks fin aerial. The combined sharks fin/bee sting seems to be for the current year. Don't know why you have the standard bee sting, might be standard fit for Ireland :undecided:

RNS unit is new but dealers should still have the parts code for this. It is likely to be slightly different than the lead for the MFD2 as the Sat Nav unit connectors are different (need double adaptor when converting from MFD2 to RNS510). I see you have also posted on VWNavi - might get a better response from there :huh:
