I know that I'll probably need to buy a new radio/cassette player but I really like my VW factory installed model that is in my 90 multivan so I thought I'd run this by all of you.  Maybe I'll get a radio expert.  When this thread came up, I was indeed in the process of replacing my antenna.  I checked out the archives and it gave me all the hints I needed to find my way to it.  However, when I was finished, I still only get AM reception.  I thought for sure it was the antenna.  (So did my mechanic)  Should I just breakdown and buy another cheap radio/cassette player or is there something that I'm missing.  The cassette plays fine and the AM sounds.......like AM!  I don't know if this would make a difference but the radio has a security code (which I do have) as an anti-theft mechanism.
