fm radio problem

People are moving away from CD to mp3 players. He should get a stereo with
an auxiliary input.

Have a look on eBay - you can pick these up pretty cheap as most people
are moving to CD.

Especially when considering how it cheap they have now become, here's a post
from a recent thread on uk.rec.cars.maintenance, about a recent offer from
Aldi (I've also seen similar on sale at a Liddle).

Still in the box atm, but I did buy a similar one last year from Lidl

for £59 for the missus car. A different make (Silvercrest) but similar

spec and that produces excellent sound from it's 4x40watt.

"I bought one yesterday, fitted it today, seems good (loud) enough for me
and
is much better than the Ford6000 it's replaced.
Plays from SD/MMC cards, has a USB flash drive slot in the front too, all
works great, can't help thinking that a USB flash drive a couple of inches
from your knee isn't gonna last long though "

My 98 Escort suffered through that off and on for the last couple
years before I replaced it. For a couple months no FM, then AM would
tweak out. Then all in a sudden it would start picking up some
stations. Bah.. I aquired an iPod and a transmitter. Made me happy,
but I still do not know why the radio turned flaky
