Drove my car for a few hours this weekend and realised how bad the reception is with it, if it didnt look so much better than standard i'd bin it.

Mind you i was driving up the M50 which isnt that heavily populated. Local-ish was ok tho, but just 'ok'
no mate bought it from wilco's, sure halfords do one too, much better reception with this, not to big either so sits behind the facia well
For anyone that hase one of these aerials GET ONE OF THESE! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-VAG-Aeria...ryZ14932QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I fitted the aerial 2 weeks ago but the reception was that bad I could not even get a half good reception even on radio 1 so I went is search of a soloution and came up with this. Found them in halfords for something like £15 and thought I could get one cheeper from fleebay and there are a few people that are selling them for less than half price.
One thing though, when you connect it up make sure you use the blue lead at the back of your headunit that you use to power a amp with and not the blue/white lead for an electric aerial, as that is what I used and the reception was only marginaly better (even with the standard aerial back on).
I actualy got so pi55ed off with it I went to take it out yesterday and just have the standard aerial back on but thought I'd try connecting the power the other way round and hay presto, perfect signal.
I hope this helps a few people out.

Nice find, so is the reception that much better with it, if it takes to back to what the standard was like i'd be happy, but if its better than standard happy days.
Im using this, i brought one for my old mans 207 and tried it on mine and it mates upto the base perfectly. Its also made from rubber and it exactly the same colour as the base. Reception is pretty good to.

Installed the booster last night, great piece of kit fair play, went from not having a signal on a certain station at all to getting something i could actually listen to!
All for 6.50, bargain.
Thanks Damoegan.
