I'm putting an aftermarket radio in my beetle. My antenna is broken off my car which makes the radio act up. I have a six disc CD player but it's located in the trunk. One if my speakers us blown out so I can't have my volume up more than a whisper. All of that kinda bothers me so I decided I would update my sound system all together. My question is, will I still need to put in an antenna? I'm planning on getting a newer Boss system (can't remember model number), but I'm not sure if it'll need an antenna to avoid static. I found a kit for my year model and the speakers, stereo, and harness. What else will I need to purchase?
Anyone with experience please let me know how you did it and what you used. I'm a do-it-myself kinda girl, I do all of my own mechanic work etc, I would really rather not take it to a dealer if I can avoid it

Thanks in advance
