I fitted a VW Sharan one to my Edition 30 the other day - works a treat.

I just got it off of ebay.

I had the sharan one before. Reception wasn't great, prefer this one IMO and no reception worries  :happy2:

I got the Sharan one. Just to let you know It does reduce signal IMO.

I got one off eBay for £7ish. It's only about 2inches long. Fits in fairly well with the OEM base

Go for the MY10 Polo aerial, reception is  :happy2:, Fleabay £15ish or stealers £ ?
Read a couple of neg' comments about the Sharan reception.

Fitted mine the other day, 1 minute switch over (and for 50 seconds of that i was having a cup of tea!!!)

I've been using the Sharan one for about 5 days with no reception issues.

If it does start playing up I'll look in to getting the Polo one  :happy2:

I also have te Sharon aerial, best looking IMO. I have noticed slightly less signal on a couple of stations but not enough to bother me enough to remove it  :happy2:

Did you have any luck at TPS?

Can anyone post a pic of their Sharan one fitted so I can see what it's like.
The polo one looks a bit too small.

Sharan aerial is shorter than the polo one.

Had mine for years, and it's got great reception!
