Dab antenna ?

Post by 02ferreiravilarl »

Hi I have a 60 plate scirocco r and was wondering if this is the dab antenna ?

As my 510 rcd unit doesn't have the dab button.

Yes, that's a DAB antenna. Although as you say your unit doesn't have DAB so perhaps someone had a different unit retrofitted before you bought the car, and they took it out to put the original non DAB unit back in.

Yes, as long as they left the wire in and didn't cut it off when they de installed it. However, you'll still need a GPS antenna for the sat nav to work. Then it'll need some coding doing as well.
