Why is reception worse here than for public radio stations in cities?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
Well for one, we have enormous objects that can block and reflect FM and TV radio waves. We call them mountains! The land in much of rural New England is very rocky and hilly.

If you live between them, in rural outlying areas, no station is near you and very few come from the same direction.

The radio has bad reception, dropping out every now and then. Why?

Yet while seeking, sound momentarily drops out. when the ignition is off, all works fine.

Can I attach an MP3 Player / Satellite Radio / Cell Phone to the Touareg's stereo system?

Volkswagen Touareg Frequently-Asked Questions
Yes. You can use an FM modulator, which broadcasts your device's audio signal to an unused FM frequency. Note that several Touareg owners have reported that this setup results in unacceptable audio quality. You can also use AUX input adapter and cable to connect your device directly to the NAV system using the "AUX" input. This results in much better sound quality than the FM modulator.
