fin aerial help

[daveangel]

hi

my car came with the standard whip fm aerial. 

trying to replace the aerial with a fin that has FM and Nav, however the only combination aerial's in etka say for "phone and gps"

i was expecting "FM" to feature somewhere in the selection process like "fm and gps" but i cant find it.

anyone else battled this out before?

ive just spent ALL DAY looking at etka trying to work out how to do my DAB.

The shark fin doesnt do FM. there is a fin that also has the whip on the back that does FM but if you want to lose the whip completely you will need to wire in the rear window to be the FM aerial...

OR..... do what I saw someone else do and just put the whip between your headlining and the roof skin and then use the sharkfin dummy to fill the bolt hole in the roof. The guy said the reception was still great.

Im actually thinking of putting a whip aerial in either my a or c pillar for my DAB.

LOL ive just seen its you that wrote the post.... I thought you knew all this as you did DAB!? :) I often look backat your old posts for the part number for the aerial with FM and DAB lol

just looking and 3c0 035 057 N is listed as just gps (combination) and has two connectors coming out the bottom.  thats gota be a winner i think??

i have the dab part list somewhere. (cant find it)  but your right the dab aerial has a fin and a mast

[daveangel]

  yea dabs easy!!

ok i ordered:-

the proper dab aerial has a special whip

1k0 035 849 (it has a thicker screw thread than the standard whip)
000 098 654A Aerial adaptor
000 098 710A Aerial adaptor
1k0 035 501H dab/gps/fm/phone aerial base

and a 5m aerial cable which would have been better 5.5m

ps one of the adaptors was to convert my existing aerial to the new fakra's connectors on newer headunits i think

how did you do??

ive not seen a fin that does fm and ive looked A LOT!

all the fin does is GPS / GSM / AUX heater remote

For FM it needs to be the combo fin / whip aerial

which vw dealer is open at this time of night to order that lot lol

well i have FM diversity in the rear window so i've found a whip that JUST does DAB so i think i'll order that and hide it inside the car somewhere as never want a whip on my car

[daveangel]

no you are quite right  

the fakra colour code tells us that the 507N is for gps and phone prep!

There is an FM/GPS fin without a whip aerial that was used on the earlier Mk5 GTIs up till around Sept 2007 - mine has one.

I've the parts ordered to convert to dual rear window aerial like the mk6. If it works I'll post up part numbers.

what car is the 1k0 035 501 h from? I can search for it on etka but then cant work out how to look at the diagram it comes from (if thats even possible?)

[daveangel]

1k0's golf mk5.  it shows up as aerial base??  

Radio + DAB + Standheizung + Telefon: 1K0 035 501 J

Radio + DAB + Standheizung: 1K0 035 501 H

although not supported by this german listing i could swear my base does gps,  as there's a couple of plugs i dont use.  got to take the headlining down so i'll double check

[jedi-knight83]

the only whip aerial i can find on etka that does DAB is the one from a 2011 golf plus 1k0 035 506 and matching whip 1k0 035 847. That base doesnt do gps though.
