I believe you need to put in an aerial amplifyer when using aftermarket headunits but in answer to your question, can the aerial be removed? I think the answer is yes with a lot of brute force. I'm sure a search will confirm that though

unscrew it and pull (don't tug) a bit more than firmly.

Hi there I had the same problem with my headunit, the standard one and aftermarket unit. The garage who fitted in the unit for me told me that the VW cars have poor reception and that a signal booster is needed to get better reception. It costs bout £10 I think but he put minie in for free cos I knew the guy lol.

The reception is much better now and I can pick up LW and MW radio stations which I could not do before.

Hope that helps
