I've managed to get a DAB/FM antenna off a Polo, part number 6R0035501A. It has two Fakra connectors, white and black. I know from the Fakra colour code that the white one carries the phantom power. Am I correct in assuming that the white one is FM, so it will continue to get phantom power from the Bolero? I'm intending to fit an Autodab SWC box for DAB.

AM/FM antenna is indeed the white Fakra (one of them at least, the other will be in the rear window cunningly disguised as a heater element). However, the white AM/FM wires do not carry any 12v phantom power.

The black DAB fakra on the 6R0 035 501 A will be expecting 12v power though as the antenna needs 12v on that connection for DAB reception, and this 12v power is supplied from the head unit.

Thanks Rustynuts, so much for the Fakra colour coding. The Autodab unit doesn't supply phantom they tell me so I'll need to buy a phantom injector unit.

That sounds costly...

surprisingly not:
