I just did a radio exchange under the VW exchange program at the dealer and after three attempts I finally got the right radio. Dealer parts dept had been very cooperative so far. I have a AM/FM cassette VW Design by Blaupunkt for VW (this is not the Heidelberg Radio that I think appeared in many Vanagons from about 90 on). The AM band works, the cassette works but the FM band will not lock in a station. It will search and scan the FM band but never find a station to play. The antenna wire is plugged in and in the old radio the FM tuner did work. The dealer has ordered another radio, I'm just wondering if my antenna is bad? Is there any way of checking the antenna.
