And how does he find the reception?

And how does he find the reception?

I'm not sure... It's factory fitted and he hasn't mentioned it not working properly, I'll ask him how it is tomorrow. Car was delivered (after a factory order) on 23rd December so I guess they're standard fit now?

part number 1K0 035 501 E (shark fin type with rod from basic SE)

it looks like it is radio + GSM but there is space to fit GPS antena inside as well

2 plugs on this one

according to ETKA 1K0 035 501 F is the one with GPS antena built in so 3 plugs

I'm awaiting delivery of my new Superb next weekend and it's got the shark fin antenna

My 58 reg also has a shark fin, you get it if you have a columbus or bluetooth phone kit since the external bluetooth aerial, GPS reciever and radio aerial are all integrated into the base.

It must have a good amp to work well though.....

Don't forget you have also a large antenna incorporated in the heating element of the rear window ( hatchback) and in both the rear quarter windows on the combi for radio.
