RNS-510 AM Radio not working

[rdfcpete]

Just fitted the RNS-510 aerial adaptor lead to solve my speaker problems I was having when using the MDI interface (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,12499.msg187738.html#msg187738).

Now it's fitted, I can't get AM radio, just interference. FM works as before. It's consistently worked up until now.
Any ideas?

Thanks

The AM Aerial lead has come off.

check to see if both aerials are connected, oh and what are you listening too an AM

The AM Aerial lead has come off.

But that would suggest the new aerial adaptor doesn't do its job? 
They both were definitely on as I tested it when the unit was out before refitting, I'll triple check though...

  Only comes in handy for FiveLive when I'm in the car after away games/for England games

swap the plugs round and try that,  1 cable will work on both but the other will only work on the specific one.

I've only recently got my car and hve no AM radio. How easy is it to check the aerial leads? I have an RCD300 in a 2007 Golf GTI. Thanks.

Checking the lead is easy, getting to it is another matter

I never fixed this in the end Sean!

I think I vaguely remember swapping the culprit wires at the back of the RNS and I had neither working FM nor AM radio as a result.
In the end I've just lived without AM for the last year which admittedly is a bit of a pain when you're driving back from 150 miles away and there's a 5.15pm kickoff on FiveLive after an away game

If you have VCDS, you can do a diagnostic on the aerials individually to check all is working

^ That I do mate. I'll check it out but I don't remember there being errors in the scans I ran around the time I discovered the issue...

Did you get any errors during a VCDS scan Drexel?

[alexperkins]

It doesnt show as error. Go into Radio then Measuring Blocks and i think its group 8/9/10 youll see itll say Radio Connection 1 - OK

Did you get this sorted?

I have the same issue.

I had to remove one of the plug covers to get the aerials to fit the RNS510, so it's feasible that mine are round the wrong way.
Means I've got to pull the RNS out again and try switching them over.

So, do I remove the plastic clips (that don't fit the RNS510) or buy the adaptor?

[alexperkins]

Id suggest buying the adapter to be fair - it ensures a good connection, and they wont fall off when your driving along.

I bought the adapter and it was defo worth it!

Have you got VCDS lee? If not, I can bring it up when I pick up the downpipe and check its set properly 

[CocoPops]

Right,

Just ordered the adaptor from ebay then.
Will give that a whirl.

I've got a HEX+CAN USB lead and VCDS Alex, just learning how to use it again! :) It's been sat in the drawer for the last 2years!
