Personally, i like the VW one better.
but for my SVT i'm going to go with the ford one because it's ford and IMHO a vw antenna on a ford in this case looks tacky (just a bit below rice :-D )
don't buy those $5 POS. The VW one (which is actually made by FUBA, same as one for BMW, Audi, etc) has an amplifier in the base to account for the short length of the antenna. It is required to get any reasonable radio reception ifyou don't live in flat land (DFW ;-) )
I'm not sure how the Ford one is constructed. Any info on this?
i haven't looked at the end of the cable inside the fender on my ford. but the fuba kit comes with a long coax with a powerlead running along side. it's grounded through the body. The connector is a screw type coax (like BNC but actually threaded) and a seperate spade type connector for the power lead. The power lead is for the amplifier. On my GTi i had it connected to the remote wire on my clarion as well as one amp. It doesn't take much current. One could also connect it to the remote antenna wire i 'spose.
hope this helps
