If the aerial has failed, e.g. due to corrosion (as one of mine did a few years back), you can probably get another from A8parts.
I bought an aftermarket one and spliced it in with some creative wiring. Mounted it at the very base of the back window (outside) and ran the cable via the hinge mechanism into the boot lid where I spliced it in to the existing cable.
There's some information on here about it somewhere, but it was a few years ago! The OEM unit uses an unusual connector so I had to do a bit of soldering.
