It might need an antenna booster.

I remember in my 6n, I replaced my Sony with a Pioneer and that had to have a booster fitted.

I can't quite remember the name of it, but most VW's come with a boosted antenna, cause this works with a 12V current you normally have to get an adaptor to go between the radio and the aerial...
