Antenna stuff
Remember the range is like 3-4ft on those transmistters, I have one from
Samsung and it works in the cabby and pcik up truck because the antenna is
fender mounted, but the prowler has the rooftop mounte fuba, and it aint
picking it up...
Why I am looking for a radio with a MP3 plug in the front, (I know some
MKII/III radios from VW had that option and some pioneer/JVC do as well.

Here's what I would do for the stock look. Does your radio have FM? My mk1
does, but it's an 81. Anyways, buy an IPOD, those pocket sized super mp3
players. Then buy the FM modulator so you can play it through your radio.
I've really wanted an IPOD and an mp3 player in my car so this is probably
the way I'm going to go. The new Mini ones are cheaper, smaller and only
hold slightly less songs. Can't go wrong!

I have a nice MP3 player in the 16V, the antenna's the issue. And Klaus is
staying stock for a while, eventually I'll get a nice MP3 player for him
too/ figure out how to conceal it to look stock. Slow careful steps on that
car. I just want tunes for the trip, hence the antenna question, I know both
radios work if the signal is there. It just isn't there.
