    Question AM/FM Radio Question

    Hey, I am new here and am looking to replace my factory stereo with a pc computer system. Everything is straight forward thus far with one exception. AM/FM radio reception. Is there a PCI card or USB device that can be use to accomplish this function? BTW, this is going to be in a 2003 VW Jetta Station Wagon, so space constraints are virtually nonexistent.

    Hi vw mg.

    You should be able to find a lot about this issue by searching the forum...
    Some people are using commercial USB products, but usually complain about the reception.
    You should look in the Hardware Development section on the sticky thread. (really long one). It will tell you that a few different projects are being developed that you can build yourself. You can also have a bit more patience as this product as I have understood it, is being commercialized, so you can buy a complete product from some retailer..

    But as mentioned in the top: If you will avoid people giving you a hard time, try spending some time on searching
