Deleting Antenna on my ej8 what are my options for radio?
My car got broken into when they took out the whole center console they thrashed the antenna connector. I just bought a delete for the antenna and was looking for options so i can listen to the radio again. I would like it to be as hidden as possible. lemme know if you need any other info or if there are any reputable brands out there. not really wanting the ones you stick to the windshield, wanna try to be as clean as possible thanks again!

Extend your antenna wire to the back of your car, and run custom wires around your rear windshield, or your roof. Hidden, and it works a LOT better than the OEM antenna does.

my old car had the one posted below on the back glass right by the headliner. you couldn't see it from outside the car. This one gets better reception too. It may have to do with the location than the brand/design though

ohhh **** lol I just thought that they stole the stereo deck as for the battery that's pretty sad/low. tinted windows may help as a deterrent but as soon as they start prying and the alarm goes off that's what works best.

Re: Deleting Antenna on my ej8 what are my options for radio?
I'm running an amplified antennae from o'reilly tucked right up where the windshield meets the dash. It's a skinny long black box with two long skinny black wings on each side with a wire coming out of the box in the center. You barely see it from inside the car and unless the radio is on (little red led easily covered with a dab of black paint) you can't see it from outside. It works better than any stock radio antennae I've had. Actually I just realized its the one in the second amazon link above.
