That would most likely be a Delta radio on the '96,
Paul.

Crappy AM reception would tend to indicate that there is
either a problem with the antenna amp (probably not getting
power or it died) or there is a problem with the leads in
the in-glass antenna.

I had zero AM reception when I changed radios because I forgot
to hook up the antenna amp power- now I have crappy AM reception.

Taka-ized:

The A4 is similar with the stock radio- crappy AM reception. But
the Beetle has great AM, aftermarket radio but stock antenna on the
roof, same as the A4's. Weird. But anyway, in-glass antennas are
terrible for AM.

Thanks.  Yes, this is sounding familiar.  But I seem to recall one or 2
'tricks' listers had used with 'some' success.  Bueller?

Tx again.
