Tony,

The tuner is one of PCA's kits, so if there is a hardware probem it's down to me. I did get it working OK on the bench with a "normal" aerial but the VW uses an amplified aerial system that doesn't seem to work too well with the tuner kit. The OEM headunit has a built-in aerial amp that means that all aftermarket fitments require an additonal aerial amplifer (which I have). The Blaupunkt works fine with this, but the tuner kit does not seem to be compatible with it (particularly on AM). Other VW owners have had similar reception problems. I guess I could put some more effort into solvng the problem, but the Golf has a double DIN space and as I have the headunit anyway it's an easier solution at the moment. At least I have got the Sony Stalk functionality that I wanted from the tuner kit . I would prefer to get the tuner working properly but I'll probably wait until PCA does a DAB tuner kit
