Shaved antenna solution

[aero]

Those looking for a hidden antenna.. well a low profile one, I have found one that seems to work great. It is one that I got from discount auto. You can get them from any regular auto store, it was 20 bucks. It mounts to glass and doesnt look too shabby. It requires a 12volt power to amplify the signal and works great. I couldnt get local stations before, and now i get stations from 2 hours away w/o static. It is model AT-UA200. I will have pics when i get time to really install it. Just wanted to let you guys know that it does work though.

Heres actually a pic of what it looks like. Im sure they are the same thing, just different brand.

here's my setup:

* interior mounted amplified antenna*

..the cables u see in the background is attached to the house, NOT in the car

People still listen to FM radio?




























j/p, the antenna looks good. Satellite radio owns you though

Yeah, thats the one i got... same exact thing. What did you mount the ground wire to? Did you lengthen it and ground it somewhere or is there something to ground it to up there?

I soldered wire to it to lengthen it, and its grounded in the trunk with the rest of the wires to the stock antenna

Same as mine too, but I put mine on the windsheild, so its not visible due to the tinted strip on top.

mines not visible, because of the 5% tint on my back window, and mine is higher up, on the top of the window

how much was the antenna you guys have? How do you like it?

[akkordlayinkit]

I paid about $18 at a auto parts store. The reception is pretty good, but not as good as the factory antenna. I wouldnt suggest it unless your factory antenna craps out, if it does then go for it.

I paid 19.99 at the auto store. I dunno how you say it isnt as good as the stock one. The only car that gets the radio stations that i can get is my dads 97 accord w/the antenna in the back window. Definately is good... it doesnt change anything though until you hook up the 12v power to it. Then it comes ALIVE!

[97Lude]

hmm how is it hooking it up? Easy? My antenna won't go up anymore..and it gets like 1 station..so i guess its dead?

[CustomLowz]

mine was also $19.99. Hooking it up is easy, Power (to turn on with radio) ground, and the antenna wire that hooks into the trunk location.

[97Lude]

whats the brand?

[aero]

Mine is Meira AutoWorks. It is the generic brand that they have at autozone... I guarantee mostly all of them are the same exact, just repackaged, cuz there is nothing on the antenna.
