My Brother '96 Passat wagon has one of these antenna's. It was factory mounted,
so it seems VW goes with the flow on some cool items. When he bought it last
year, he complained over the bad radio reception, so the dealer pulled down the
rear end of the head liner, and found that the amp was missing. Wonder where
that one went. He's happy now!
