May want to make sure your antenna is screwed down nice and tight on the top of your car, but honestly -- the antennae that VW included on the beetles is the worst I've ever owner. Not trying to be a jerk about it - it is just a fact. The local favorite station around here can be picked up with a tiny pocket FM tuner loud and clear. It is scratchy and intermittent until I get several miles closer to point of origin in my NB.
After taking a look, a lot of it just has to do with lenght / wavelength of the antenna. It is weak forreceiving.
Best bet - get a better antenna, someone on here may have a good idea on that - or get satellite radio. You really can't beat it for 12 bucks a month if you use the radio a lot.
I am really pleased with mine. Just got done installing it, and with all the driving I do - it is really worth the investment IMHO.
Take care,
- Hap
