Default Anyone install an FM booster to help with radio signal?

I searched and saw that HACK THS was asking about installing one back in Feb, but no updates from what I can see.

The radio is fuzzy in and out when driving. Yes, I know the radio sucks. All the other Audis I've driven sucked at FM reception too.

Anyone installed one in their TT or other vehicle? Think it would help at all?

I have a booster I got at walmart for $2 a few months ago. Couldn't hurt giving it a try. Though I'd have to figure out how to pull the headunit out. (I made Jeff Bipes's tool but there's nowhere to grab to wiggle it out on the single-CD units)

Default Head Unit removal - 'Concert II' - ooops!

You may need to go to the dealer for this.
The OEM tool has a notch in it, that engages the 'clip' in the slot.
Then you can pull the blades, and the H/U will come out.

Go to this site to buy them
Look down the page for 'Radio'.

oh sweet. Maybe I'll try making my own with the notch... they're 8x the price of my booster!
