Lukey. 381 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 depends on the fitting underneath, mk3 has a 15mm square hole.i used this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-AERO-SHARK-FIN-CAR-ANTENNA-AERIAL-BLACK-811413-/200434703488?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM had to put a different end on the cable but was easy as pie and i think looks bit better as its a smoother fin Link to post Share on other sites
tailor 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have found a picture of the bottom, But im more worried about the connections from the original mk3 wiring to this style Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 the connector looks the same as the OE one on mk3, easiest way to see on your car is take the plastic trim off the back of the headlining at the top of the boot and drop the headlining and have a look, i think theres 2 different kinds depending on the model radio your car originally had.

Rikki 2 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 It physically fits but doesnt plug in. Mine came off a breaker so pinched the other part of the connector too !!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 or get a universal one and this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1051 Link to post Share on other sites

tailor 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I am probably going to take my existing aerial out and strip the insides out and put it inside the new mk5 housing,This will hopefully enable me to have the same connectors and the look of the mk5 finI will keep posted my progress Link to post Share on other sites
