Antenna: Description and Operation

Antenna Systems

The antenna on the Jetta from MY 2011 are integrated inside the rear side windows and roof antenna.

The antenna system consists of the following parts:

• Antenna amplifier 2 (R111) (AM/FM) on the right side of the rear window (C-pillar).

• Antenna amplifier (R24) (FM2) on the left side of the rear window (C-pillar).

• Satellite tuner antenna (R172) (SAT) inside the roof antenna.

• Navigation system antenna (R50) (GPS) inside the roof antenna.

• Telephone antenna (R65) (GSM) inside the roof antenna.

The antenna system with diversity function serves to improve and optimize the reception quality in the vehicle. It is not installed with the radio RCD-310 Entry.

• Familiarity with the function and operation of the radio/RNS (Radio Navigation System) is essential in the event of customer concerns. Refer to the Owner's Manual.

• After connecting the battery, check all the vehicle accessories, (radio, the clock, the Convenience Systems). Refer to and the Owner's Manual.

• If a magnetic antenna is mounted on the roof, the compass module could malfunction due to interference from the magnet or because the roof becomes magnetized. There may be issues with an incorrect compass display if a magnetic antenna was used.

Repairing Antenna Wires

A new repair concept has been developed for repairing antenna wires. Instead of a complete antenna wire, connecting wires of different lengths and various adapter leads are now available as replacement parts.
