thanks for replying fella..
I have the veyron unit fitted thats in the start of this thread..
The aerial on the roof is a shark fin and a vw unit.. the radio reception on FM is ok but stations drop out when on the move on AM there is no reception at all so no radio 5 live or gold!!
I took the car to a car audio shop and they removed the unit to test it and they said i need a new aerial which i bought this aerial however has a different plug on the end of its lead (a raku ) im told.
The shark fin aerial has a Fakra connection so now im totally confused..
ive read on here that theres different leads to fit but some work and some dont  powering the antenna etc so really unsure on what route to take now

So have you fitted the connects2 adaptor lead linked to earlier?
I would have thought that would sorted out your FM problems  :confused:, the single blue wire powers the FM amplifier inside the metal box part to boost the signal, your current 2 aerial fakras plug in twin blue socket end, and single silver FM plug in back of head unit.
There are many types of VW aerials, with many different lead connectors.
Failing all else you may have to take to VW dealer  :ashamed: or let good car audio shop sort it all out for you.

Ive not fitted connects2 adaptor lead as ive read that these things dont make any difference to the signal
is there one you would recommend or know of that might work?

its only £9.75 delivered and further in this post member has used it and says it works, worth a punt  :popcornsoda:
I believe you need to amplify the FM signal, which this would......I've never herd of an aerial failing.....

I fitted the connects2 lead this morning it seems to have made a slight difference to the FM signal but has done nothing for the AM signal.
bit of a waste of time and money really and i managed to scratch the climate control panel in the process!! :sad1:

oops sorry to hear that chris.
I wouldn't expect it to have any effect on AM, whats on AM anyway?
The connects thing helped with a sony unit with FM in the wifes MK4.
DAB is what you want anyway :grin:

I've got a very similar head unit to this one and the FM reception sucks,  if I put my Alpine unit back in the FM reception is perfect again.

My local car stereo shop who I trust confirmed that most of these units don't have great tuners built in.  A few they've found with the antenna connection poorly soldering inside. I checked this on mine and its soldered in place fine.

In the end I gave up and bought a Veyron V-Dab+ unit to get DAB radio.  It works perfectly and I get great reception even with the antenna just laid inside the car.  As a bonus it has a USB lead sticking out of it that I can use to charge my phone / ipad etc...
