VW antenna

[Cobrajet]

I have no personal experience, but a search of the site returns several posts claiming the stock VX antenna is a powered unit, and running non-powered (i.e. aftermarket stereo) results in poor reception. The VW "Fuba" antenna is supposed to be powered, but I don't know if wiring is the same.

But I doubt the antennae is a powered unit. I have unscrewed it while running the VX through the car wash which would be bad if powered and have not had any issues.
