95 A5q Radio options

oh yea thats required to plug it in. fm still sucks.

should qualify sucks - markedly worse sound and signal strength - signals
are fuzzier, come and go more frequently and never lock in like they do with
oem. it's always been that way as far as i know.. aftermarket radios dont
put any meat in the fm sections, since ppl buy them for every other feature.
audis oe radios actually
have quite good fm.

i gotta have my terry gross loud and clear..
