Well I too have just completed upgrading my head unit (A Dennon DCT-950R), And I've come across some strange things..... Well it IS an Audi! Weirdness #1 The CD player section is pretty much noise free..... The Radio section has the dreaded Alt. Whine. FM has more noise than AM..... I'm going to change where I'm getting my power from. I'm getting it now from the stock radio power wire and I'm going to change it to directly off of the battery, just like the Amp. Weirdness #2 I was still getting NO AM.... I checked the resistance between the Ant ground and the chassis ground and that's reading 0 ohms. When I checked the Shield to ground (With the ant. connected) again I got 0 ohms (No ground loop) but no AM. Now I live in St. Louis, MO and we have KMOX radio a 50,000 watt clear channel station, and I can't get the freaking hockey game!! So I decide to do something unconventional (What? Who Me??) and I decide to lift the sheild on the ant. lead at the ant. I wrap the outer terminals on the ant lead with electrical tape. I then reconnect the lead and PRESTO! I've got AM radio!! WooHoo!! I change down the dial to 890AM which is WLS in Chicago and I'm finding out about a accident on the Kennedy Expressway!! So if your having AM problem try lifting the sheild. Later!
