the problem with that statement is "functional"....

I'm using a powered VW antenna on my roof.

The GSX has a rear glass antenna. It's in the glass, but they don't work really well, they only get strong signals, the weak one's don't come in.

if you don't mind drilling into your roof, you're cool. but If you don't feel too confident about it...maybe have someone who's done a few. you really don't want water leakin through your headliner....

almost any mobile audio store has access to a metra catalog. You can order a powered VW antenna from them. I put them on boats all the time.

is the gsx one an antenna or those "wire" things atttached to the glass?

i have a non-amplified fuba that i was going to put where my rear washer squirter is but coudn't get it to fit there so i think i'm going to sell it since i don't really like the look too much on the roof and don't want to drill a hole there.

i couldn't find anything at the dakotadigital site.

I have the glass antenae on my RS. I'm going to put an FM amplifier on it and see what I can do to eliminate my mast. I'll let you know how it works.

but the amplifier will only "amplify" signal, not improve your reception. you'll just amplify the bad reception. if you can get an adapter for the diversity antenna(the actual name for the antenna in the rear window) all you need is a headunit with an excellent tuner in it.
