Shark Fin Aerial



Have any of you UK owners managed to order your car with the SatNav aerial fitted without the SatNav system fitted.
I dont like to 16v Golf type aerial much and would like the SharkFin for the radio only.
If so how much did you pay?
Thanks in advance.

Can't be done from the factory on UK cars. The only way is to order Sat Nav.

Thanks all for advice...but can you answer one more question?
The brochure I have describes the SharkFin as 'Dual Band', so what is the 2nd band?? I assume one is GPS....

Cheers again

Dual Band in this instance means that it works on GSM 900Mhz (O2 and Vodafone) and also PCN/GSM 1800Mhz (Orange and T-Mobile). For example a dual band phone would be able to use a SIM card from a GSM900 or a GSM1800 provider. On top of this there is also the GPS receiving function of the aerial.

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.
