RNS 510 Antenna
« on: April 10, 2009, 08:31:34 pm »
I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge and ordering an RNS 510 unit from Tommy over on VW NAVI (thanks for the recommendation 182 Blue!)

Question is, although the unit comes supplied with an antenna for behind the dash can I get the shark fin style from the dealer and fit this to the car so it's a proper installation??

Has anybody tried this and if so do I need to order anything else from the delaer aside to the antenna itself??

Thanks

JD

i think you will need to get the cable too, and run it to the aerial, its a bit of a tedious job so most people just use the little plug in one like the one Tommy will send you

the aerial tommy sends is perfect. Hidden under the vent and always has a great signal. Don't over complicate this part, it's just fine as it is :happy2:

A thief will look at the aerial to see if you have satnav but won't look inside at the stereo?  :chicken:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
