I am having the same problem and though I appreciate the suggestions in this answer, I think this is most definitely an AUDI-specific issue. It is NOT related to the CD, and NOT related to FM -- both function very well. The problem is AM-SPECIFIC.
I had a similar problem on my Audi 100. Then when I traded to a 2001 A6, for some reason the AM reception was much better. Then, I got hit from behind and my car totalled. I replaced it with an identical 2001 A6 (identical except no CD changer). From the beginning, reception was poor, but tolerable. Then, about 6 months ago, it went from tolerable to NON-EXISTENT. Occasionally when I was close to a station I would occasionally get something, but most of the time nothing. All the while FM was working flawlessly. Occasionally reception will "come back" when the car is started, but shortly thereafter it goes away completely again.
Can anyone with Audi-specific AM knowledge help?
thanks
