Re: FM(snap) Radio(crackle) Reception(pop): New Audi A6

I have a 99 a6q with the Bose and I have had no problems with radio reception
yet. The antenna looks to be the same setup as on my previous A4; with which I
also had no reception problems. In fact, I think that the A6 gives me the best
reception I have had in a stock radio/antenna combo in any car. I would tend to
think that there is a wiring problem (bad ground?) in your car's system.

FM radio reception is stinko with moderate to weak stations in my new Audi
A6 with +$1300 BOSE status audio system. Never had this problem listening
to same stations in same geographic area with trade-in's (low status)
receiver. Audi dealer is tight-lipped - says I listen to the wrong
stations!. But I see a few A6's around with external antennas, like that
on the A8.
Has anybody else had this problem? Is poor radio reception a design flaw
in my new A6? Can it be fixed with the addition of an external antenna?
Should I bitch to Bose?, dealer?, congressman?, wife?, dog?
Please advise. And thanks.
