OK...that didnt work(98 A4 radio reception)

[quattro1869 at aol.com]

Hello fellow listers...its been a while.? I have had the struggle for a while with my FM radio in the A4.? I had let it go having terrible reception, because I have satellite radio and an IPOD.? Well I have been awaiting the full merger between XM and Sirius...so?I didnt renew my subscription and have been back listening to terrestrial radio.? Now i looked around and found that when my aftermarket radio was installed, the wrong adapter was installed.? From what I read and talked to the people at Crutchfield....they needed to install the right antenna hookup that sent power to the factory antenna as well.? I bought and installed the part, and still no improvement.? Does anyone know what could have happened to cause this?? Or what I am doing wrong?? I remember the factory radio had good reception.
Thanks as always,

Craig
