Right - bigger aerial fixes it.
Reception on all channels - no hiss and buzz. So either the OEM aerial is weak, radio tuner is picky or a combination of the two assuming your reception amplifier under the rear wing isn't shot.

Thinking on from this ...
I have fitted a standard VW Beesting aerial that people who have VWS try and swap for a stubby inferior Honda one that needed an amplifier to work properly in the first place .... which basically means i've theft proofed mine and improved the radio reception whilst keeping a superior radio?

When I looked around for a head unit with DAB I found none of them had the ipod connectivity I required to be able to have the entire DM back catalogue at my finger tips. A real deal breaker for me!

It's the same thread as was on my Leon ... direct fit. Heck you'd probably get a 'Dub nut to swap for free, all it will cost you is a trip to Mcdonalds on a Friday / Saturday night
