Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • MY2012 155TSI comes with shark fin antenna

    I put my order in my my tiguan last year, and for the whole time I've keeping an eye on how to replace the stock long ass ugly antenna with a nice shark fin antenna.

    To my surprise when my tiguan was delivered yesterday, it comes with a shark fin antenna!

    Would agree if you didn't have to tick the "Sat Nav" box on your order.

    Nevertheless, to answer your question and for the interest of others, you could buy an OEM Mk6 Golf (non-Sat Nav) version here:

    Definitely would recommend this relatively easy and inexpensive mod!

      I thought all MY 2012 Tigs regardless If they have GPS or not, come standard with Shark Fin antennas. I test drove a TDI with leather pack and the standard 310 radio and it had the shark fin antenna.

        I could be wrong but most of the new models now comes with the shark fin antenna. There are 2 different ones; if you optioned it with RNS510, the shark fin antenna is slightly larger to accommodate the GPS antenna inside. I compared my (non SatNav) antenna with my friend's antenna which had the RNS510 in his car. It's definitely bigger.
