Hello there I am trying to run Polos RCD210 on the bench and I am looking for the right radio antenas
I know that double fakra cream white connector is (
1= Universal Fakra - AM/FM2 Antena
2= Type B Fakra - FM1 Antena
Now I am looking for the right cables and I am wondering do both plugs go to the roof antena? Or does 1. Go to some other antena
Where is AM antena located in this car?
Does anyone have antena wiring diagram for this car
Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
RCD 210 does not have a double antenna/diversity system. (single aerial connector)
AM/FM is through the roof antenna.
The diversity system is for RCD 310, RCD 510, RNS 310/315, RNS 510. (double aerial connector)
AM/FM1 and FM2 ... + optional depending on equipment (DAB, GPS, GSM, etc).
Download this manual and read from page 40.

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
Aha I see now
RCD210 also has only one Aerial connector
Didnt find it in the manual, but is there any amplifier between the antena and RCD
I saw this video: https://youtu.be/UBUfX4auA0c
Where the guy said that antena needs power (thats why he used a special kind of adapter that converts from Fakra to Motorola plug)
I am planning to use one of this twin fakra to F connectors: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/175723239429
But I am not sure now, if I need an amplifier box in between

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
There is no type of amplifier interleaved in the original installation (cable).

On the original roof rod antenna base board (electronic circuit) is the amplifier.
In this case, nothing is better than the original parts.
... in the video that you have shown, they are forced to put an amplifier powered by 12v due to the type of retrofitted radio and type of connector for aerial connection.
I've never used these amps, but I don't remember reading good reviews about these types of amps.

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
Aha I see
So there is an amplifier
I am asking because I will hook this to my roof antena and if the unit is sending power over the port (bias tee) and I accidently hook a long wire antena to it (shorting the center pin to ground) I will blow up the bias tee supply
So to prevent that I would rather hook (an original) inline amplifier and then antena to that
BTW: Can you maybe send me the pdf that you took a picture from (I didn't find that page in the manual you send me, and your manual seams very usefull)

Thank you very muchciclo wrote: Thu Aug 17, 2023 4:31 pm 6R WDhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2nv91 ... KxQGUiXrgA
Download it!
Did you get this on erWin?
If yes, would you maybe know where I could find some installation instruction for 7L6919148A TV Module, internet is totaly empty on this (I don't even know what cables I need) and most importantly how to code it (I have OBDEleven, but if instructions are for ODIS I will try to figure something out)
If you have many guides on how to install Reverse camera and Bluetooth module on RNS510, there is zero information on how to install TV module inside RNS510 (the onlything I know is that this module () should be compatible with RNS510)
I did ask this here: viewtopic.php?p=599350#p599350
but sadly received no reply, I gues noone knows this things, or the navigation unit is so old, that people that did know that, moved on and so noone knows anything anymore about this old things
Many thanks for helping me (this vehicle wiring diagrams and antena wiring diagrams are very hard to obtain)

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
Yes, I got them from erWin. I registered with erWin and paid a small amount of money to download the diagrams I needed.
Logically I do not have all the diagrams of all the VWs that have been manufactured (almost).
If you search with 'virtue', will and patience on the internet you will find everything you need to know about what you ask.
e.g. https://www.drive2.ru/b/1159903/ (use the translator, and your abilities to interpret)
Logically you will not find all the information perfectly specified to fulfill your specific requirements. You will have to do several searches.
Note1: if you use that evil device called 'Smartphone' to do your searches, it's highly likely that you'll drop the term 'virtue' I mentioned earlier.
Note2: in the network we are all equally young, some users have more experience and others less, but what most differentiates some users from others is knowledge, ... and skills.
IMHO, I don't think it's worth installing a TV tuner in a vehicle these days. You have many portable devices where you can watch and transfer the TV signal to other devices anywhere in the world.

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
Wow, thanks, (I searched in english, in german, never accured to me that someone in russia might write a nice tutorial for TV tuner like that)ciclo wrote: Fri Aug 18, 2023 3:55 am Yes, I got them from erWin. I registered with erWin and paid a small amount of money to download the diagrams I needed.

You know, thats what I usualy do, I search the internet, ask on forums, expiriment and eventualy I find things
But if you are the onlyone doing certain things its very hard
For instance, I want to enable LW Tuner insime my RNS850, (which is not enabled, and I found no way to code that to enabled (I can acsess it in secret menu, but not by normal means) and after expirimenting with OBD11 and asking on forums
https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/rns-85 ... -115293965
nobody knew how to help
Infact if you actualy want to code TV tuner inside my Tuareg (I believe I have 7L6 919 146 D), you have no idea what bit does what, thats how much obscure that is and obdEleven always knows what bit does what (well not if you are coding TV Tuner
I wish there would be some oficial list of what bit does what for obscure modeules in car (I wonder how did guys at VCDS or OBDEleven found out what most of the bits do)
So yea, I learn by searching the internet and asking on forums

Re: VW Polo 1,2 TSI Radio wiring diagram
With the official VAS tool.
In most control units it is possible to code, adapt, flash, etc... and get detailed information, but, in some control units it is necessary to establish an online connection with the VW servers to have access to all the information, and also, in some control units only it is possible to know the information due to the repair processes that are carried out online (regardless of a subsequent detailed study of the firmware, software or data set).
Also, by playing with the diagnostic tools with the pushing method
, some functions are found out by pure chance.
With the pushing method you have to take risks that many others are not willing to take, bricking control units isn't usually nice if the control unit is installed in a vehicle and not in a test bench.
