stumpy aeriels
Toptrump:
I have a sharkfin like that on mine, how ever I never had Satnav in the car when I got it. Perhaps it is just the stations I listen to but I never thought the reception was actually that good. Either that or the stupid adapter that is needed between the cable and the Alpine unit I have in there. On the other side it does look 8) ! :wink:

From MY05-MY06.5 GTIs without the satnav didn't have a radio aerial; if they had satnav they had the sharkfin.
From MY06.5+ Golfs without OEM satnav were given a beesting aerial.

Ah well that explains it! I don't have satnav and its an MY05 GTI. I rather like the more clean look without the aerial anyway! :laugh:
Thanks

It was cheaper to add a beesting aerial instead of a hidden aerial which is why VW eventually got rid of the antenna-less cars :) I think the Golf was more sleek without or with the sharkfin myself.
