Anyone else's standard radio totally rubbish?

[meathead]

Mine is! Both FM and AM are pathetic.

I get around this by using a tape adaptor for my Ipod, but I'd really like to solve the problem. I've tried boosters, a new radio unit (A JVC CD player) and that's just the same....

Anyone in the same boat?

If another unit is as bad and you used the correct aerial adapters then your Aerial is almost certainly at fault. They are known to fail on the Mk IV.

Aha! Thanks for that. I'll steal, ahem, borrow one from my mates golf!

Anyone know where to get good quality replacement aerials other than *******?

[Froggy]

Bosch make a decent replacement, but be aware that the aerial cable might need an adapter. I seem to remember that the factory aerial doesn't use a normal aerial extension connector.

Have a look at bluespot.co.uk, I think they stock them.

Plenty of cars being broken on ebay!
