Another Aerial question

Recommended Posts

My fm reception is not that great. I was just wondering if i buy an booster/amp for the aerial that fits at the head unit end would that help cure the issue? Or do i need to replace the base/by-pass the amp as mentioned in other threads?

 

Cheers

Krish

Just sort the base - think late cars don't even have the boosted aerial base, so even VW realised they were cr@p.

does sound like the amp in the base is shot, they provide very good reception when working so I'd look for a new one, there are some very good pattern bases around for less than 15 quid (that include amps) and as the same basic aerial is used on a wide range of manufacturers cars you should be able to find a cheaper new alternative to VW.

Just vmake sure you get one with the correct power connection lead, there's an early and late type.
