#75 of 78 SAT Radio antenna? by njsteve Sep 17, 2009 (4:01 am)
When I replaced my stock head unit (with SAT radio) with a Pioneer Avic F700BT, I could not figure out where the factory antenna is, so I used the provided antenna and do not get as good reception as from the stock setup.   I will say that this Pioneer unit, coupled with my Dynaudio speakers, is the SWEETEST sounding car audio system I've ever had. I flat out blows me away every day! Replies to this message: bpeebles (Sep 17, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: njsteve (Sep 17, 2009 4:01 am) The "stock" VW radio uses a 'powered' antenna. The stock head unit sends power to the antenna where an RF (Radio Frequency) amplifier boosts the signal right from the antenna into the wire feeding to the radio.   I am not certian about the Passat.... but the Jetta antenna is imbedded into the rear window. (alongside the heating-elements for the defroster)

Replying to: vabeachcc (Aug 18, 2009 11:19 am) There should be a retrofit kit available. It's part number 5N0 035 342 B and 000 051 446 C. You'll need a harness. However VW will offer it as an accessory and it includes the cable. Sorry for the late response.
