Don't expect any improval in reception (unless you're getting next to
nothing now) with a FUBA. Mine is not doing well for at all: FM is
passable, but still weak compared to our Acura, and AM is - quite
literally - non-existing.

Have you perchance replaced the factory radio?  The Fuba antennas have
two amplifiers for AM & FM and they need to be powered.  The factory
radios provide power to the antenna amps through the harness.  If you
have changed the radio it may not be wired to provide power to the
antenna resulting in zero AM reception and poor FM reception.  Very
common problem when people upgrade their stereos in VW/Audis with roof
mounted whip antenna.
