I've started a new thread for this problem to help others who may come accross it.
I had upgraded from a mfd2 to a rns510 and ended up with this only fault.
The cause is believed to be the following as provided on the VWnavi site


The fault code tells that you only have one antenna active.
The car has antenna amplifier as standard.
I also used adapters for cables. Also had MFD2 as standard.
Still didnt work before i removed that diversity box.
Now both my antennas are active, and radio much better.
Reason I had to remove it is that the box switches between the antennas when MFD2 is installed, but in RNS510 this is built in the navi, and then the box will not switch, and then just one antenna is active.
This also depends how old your car is, and type of car.
Know people who have tried with antenna amplifier with no luck.
:thumbsup:

this is the diversity box that conflicts with the rns510 as it already has a diversity box built in. So i need to bypass this by directly connecting the aerial cables.:thumbsup:
