Does My Radio Adaptor Matter (which brand?)

[NFLNetwork 10+ year member]

I had an alpine 9852 Head Unit installed. The installer said he needed to install a radio adaptor....now I can't get certain radio stations anymore. Do I need a different radio adaptor (are some better than others) OR was the adaptor installed improperly????

He installed a volkswagon adaptor and i have a mercedes e320 (1998)
