The later Mk.V with the roof antenna have one additional rear window antenna
as well if factory fitted with RCD300, RCD500 or RNS510.

The second window antenna is retrofitable on most cars.

You have any detail on activating the second rear screen antennae and what parts are needed?  I am after just fitting the stubby going to look at fitting a shark fin on saturday current plan is to have the existing aerial under the head lining but the second rear window would be a more elegant solution.

Remove the plastic trim around the rear window and look if there is
a connector ready to fit an amplifier. If there is one your fine.
If there's not -  :sad1:
Welding a connector to glass would be a very tough job - so no option.

VW sells a cheap shark fin dummy as well to close the hole.

My first Mk.V still had the two window antennas providing excellent
FM reception (with RCD300).

I will have a look for the necessary part numbers.

Cheers, I have a early MY06 I have some of the older features but not others, I have both the aerial elements in my rear screen, whether it has a connector on it or not I dont know, I assume one side will have the amplifier on it but not the other?
The secondary filament at the top above the heating wire one on both sides that dont touch.

Yes, the arial elements are in place on all Mk.V, but if you have the roof antenna
you will have only one amp inside the lid.

VW used several rear windows from factory, but there are only three spare parts
all coming with the connector; one light green, one dark green and one blue glass.

Some come with the necessary connector from factory, some not. So first you have
to look for it. If there's no connector as said before retrofitment is too complicated.

Will take off the left hand side trim tonight from reading up it appears the right hand side one is in operation, do you have the part numbers for the missing amp? I assume it needs a power feed and then linking up to the aerial lead by the roof aerial.

I paid £13 for mine from my local VW dealer last Friday - perfect fit and reception

I'll dig the part number out for you

Bit of an update I went out for a drive last night first time with the sharan aerial and the radio signal was not good, the signal strength jumped up and down causing a small selection of radio stations to be available and the signal of the ones I did get went from Stereo to Mono constantly so looks like I will move on to plan B fitting a shark fin  :evilgrin:  and sort out an alternative aerial location.
