Any idea why I've got one of these?

Does anyone know why I've got one of these (not standard):



When I've only got one of these (very standard):

Perhaps the last owner fitted a different aerial for aesthetics.

several possibilities:

Car had Factory sat nav and last owner sold the nav
Car has a Factory phone kit
Car has Auxiliary heating
last owner changed the whip antenna to the shark fin

shark fin is used for phone prep and sat nav on the 8P. if you have either (or both) of those you'll have a sharkfin. i'd imagine it's the same on the Golf, so i'm guessing you have phone prep?

Run the option codes on the white sticker in the boot through one of the online checkers and it will confirm if the car was/is factory fitted with phone prep, sat nav or aux heating

Excellent, thanks for that sub39h. 

 I do have a cradle for what looks like some sort of prehistoric Nokia phone. I think I need to get this removed.

Thanks Steve, will do.

8ZH   Antenna for AM/FM reception, "diversity"

Found it on google as required for mobile phone or nav, but no code for nav on the sticker or aux heating, so must be for phone.

Can you not get a bluetooth module to slot into it. ??

That's a good idea Thor. Would that be an OEM part?

Not sure chap, just know that when i had my 350Z i changed the cradle for my old nokia 6310i to a bluetooth module which slotted straight in.  Can you upload a picture withany model information.

Bluetooth Lunda?   Googled that but nothing came up. Is that a typo?
