I need LW radio in my Volkswagen Polo for Test Match Special - can I install a different radio?

I have just bought a Volkswagen Polo and, to my amazement, cannot receive LW radio, which is essential for Test Match Special. How can I find a reputable supplier and fitter for an LW radio?

It's common on a number of Volkswagen Group models, including the Fabia. If you only need LW radio occasionally, and there's an aux-in, I'd suggest hooking up a small radio in the same way you would an ipod/MP3 player. It'll be much cheaper (and less hassle) than having the radio out and re-fitted.
