What head unit did you have before as the second generation rcd300 and rcd500 units both have two aerial connectors.

I wonder if they damaged one of the aerial connectors and trying to fob you off to hide this.
Without traction power is nothing!

Really easy.

Remove the RNS unit from the car, take the antenna out from behind the rns. Plug the double adapter into the back on the rns and plug the 2 antennas from the car to the other end of the adapter.

Had this issue on 2 mk5 golfs including mine and this sorted the problem out
