Default Car came without an antenna.....Need to install a new one, any opinions on how/which one??

Alright I bought my car with a broken bent piece of antenna, so i ripped it out. Didnt bother me much until I realized I need an antenna to work with the mp3 player. Any suggestions on where I can get a kit to install a new antenna, or an antenna by itself??

Im sure that there is something that has to work. Also since I never messed with an antenna or had one attached to my car.....do I just need to attach a wire to the radio and thats it?? Thanks!!

you can get one at radio shack for cheap...one that you can just tape to the inside base of your windshield..

Will that work efficiently?? Did you ever see or use one yourself??

I was kinda thinking about putting an s2k one on my rear roof, but I cant find any pics of a crx with a non stock one anywhere. Since I have absolutely nothing for an antenna, what exactly would I need??

I want to get something like this. But I know I need wiring or something. Like I said I have never seen a radio wired up, so I dont even know what it really is.

Yeah, I've used one before I turned my car into designated race car...worked fine..but I listened to CD's more than I tune to the radio...It's so cheap, like less than $10 and it's plug and play. Plug it behind your radio and run the rest of it on your windshield. If you don't like it, you're only out $10 bux..
