    Does your car still have its ISO connectors?

    A5 goes live when radio is switched on. I *think* it’s a white wire in the car but not sure.

    You can access the aerial base by removing the rear dome light to measure if it’s getting power. There’s a small spade connector on a white wire?
    I need to change the one in my RS4, I can only get a couple of really strong stations, radio 2 and 4 here at home I think.
