Im thinkinh about replacing my antenna with a shorty antenna. Have any of you had poor reception from doing so?

Yea the reception does change a bit. I don't use the radio anyways, ipod ftw.

I got the MPX shorty antenna but haven't been able to notice a difference, I've never used the radio in my car XD

I always use my radio I feel like I got better reception from it in my car when I go in tunnels and such..

I feel like that doesn't make sense. If it works then it works.

Idk lol before when I go through tunnels like harbor tunnel with stock antenna it would cut out but with this one it stays on now

Except for when in a underpass no, but I do live in NYC there's radio towers everywhere

I just cut the stock one way short and I still get good reception out here in the desert

In my experience, AM reception is greatly reduced. I have no noticeable difference in FM reception.

I bought a cheap shorty antenna on ebay and it didn't fit my car. What I ended up doing was just cutting my stock antenna to about ten inches and I have very poor reception now. It's no biggy to me, I listen to CD's. I live in upstate NY, so a lot of trees and mountains, I used to get like 20 stations, now I get like the 3 or 4 from the adjacent towns.

I have the Mpx Shorty, you do lose some reception, but better than having a gigantic Radio Broadcasting tower on your trunk. I also use mp3's.

That's an idea but one thing I use the radio for is the drive-ins so I do need an antenna for that.

Truth. I think I might turn the XM on if they'll give me a good deal.

I didn't lose any reception with removing the antenna on my old gold car, but I bought an ARK Shorty for my current red car...I like it.

Just remember to hold nut on inside bracket firmly when you unscrew the OEM antenna. It has a bit of locktite on the threads. Right Grasshopper!!!

 

[Bronxknight28]

Ugh don't remind me Coby lol, still haven't gotten a replacement one

 

[Clarky215285]

Yeah i gotta get a new bracket. Anyone have a part # for 05 2.2l base coupe
