Hi all. I have just bought a 2017 GTI Polo. Does anyone know if it's easily possible to change the stick antenna to a shark fin as on the Golf. I have factory sat nav. VW parts and service have not been of much help.

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.

I changed mine on my bora with one that sits over the base of the subby and screws into the stubby, then stick on with tape. There is abit of radio reception loss but very marginal, no different to the short stubby I had reception wise. Perfect around town but easy to lose signal in low signal areas.

Got mine for 7 dollars I think.
**you may need to cut the gasket off the base of the antenna.. mine was already gone hence the replacement.Last edited by BoraBora; 12-05-2017, 07:18 PM.sigpic -
Thanks for the reply but I was hoping that I would be able to switch over with a genuine VW antenna such as one from the current golf.Comment

Ahh no worries.
Found another one. I don't know what the one you are looking for looks like.
This one has a part number on it in the images. Vw spares might be more help with that.
# 5Q0-035-507-Q-5FQ last bit should be yhe color code
