You shouldn't be getting any switched live from the rear of your HU, that's not how it works. The switched live comes from the block, but I don't suggest tapping straight into the block. Have you fitted the standard wiring harness? The PC2-69-4? If so, there is a blue wire that is unattached that you connect the aerial booster to. The aerial booster will also have a blue wire so they match. I suggest snipping both ends and adding bullet connectors because I found the original clips to be horribly insecure and they caused static. For what it's worth, the aerial booster signal separation filter is only really necessary for AM. I personally use AM all the time so I need it, but if you don't then I would avoid using it as it takes up a reasonable amount of space. I suggest the PC5-90 as your booster, not the more commonly used PC5-52 as that requires you to buy a second adapter. Couple that with the chance of an extension cable (I had to because the antenna socket was on the opposite side) and you turn the little space you have behind your HU into a rats nest and it makes it very hard to manoeuvre. Plus it works out a little more expensive. Going from the cheapest places PC2-69-4 off eBay is £2.62 PC5-90 off eBay is £2.47. In most cases that'll be enough, but if your antenna socket is on the other side of the head unit, you might need an extra 30cm extension, which is about 3 quid too. That is enough to get the booster fitted okay. If you follow the Halfrauds experience (and most VW forums), they suggest you buy: PC2-69-4, again £2.62 PC5-52, on eBay, £2.63 At this point, you'll likely have a problem because your PC5-52 is an ISO plug as used by VW's OEM radio, but most aftermarket HU's use a standard DIN connection. So... you'll have to buy the adapter, about 2-3 quid (i don't suggest 99p adapters). If you buy the adapter, and you can't reach, then you'll still have to buy the 30cm cable!! It comes to a few quid more, which is just unnecessary. That should just about do it. Let me know if you need any tips, I have quite a lot of experience fitting radios in a Lupo. Is there any desire for me to write a bit of a guide on it? I've fitted DIN and Double DIN, so I've come across most of the issues people experience. That said, my amp fitting and wiring knowledge is fairly limited, so I'm only talking wiring the radio itself. Edit: Of course, the alternative (if you aren't bothered about AM) is don't fit a booster, for that, you'll just need the ISO - DIN adapter I talked about in the second option. Plug it straight onto the aerial cable and into the back of your HU and you'll have FM no problem. Don't expect AM though.

Sounds similar to alot what other people are doing to other marques, i love how everything has to have a name though I suppose it does keep alot of online copy and paste bloggers out of trouble in McDs car parks on a night though

The only HELLA

Perhaps it's short for hella flush. Trés scene methinks.
