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.

 

get a hidden amplified antenna.

 

I used one from an rsx.

 

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

 

I was reading reviews and didnt see anyone talking about effects of tinted windows... any input? I I were to use that I would more then likely put on rear windshield where I have 5% tint.

 

How did you use it? Trunk?

 

ppl still steal stereos lol ? just get an alarm next time it may be the whole car they try to take.

 

heard of any that work well with tinted windows?

 

You mean like getting some antenna wire and extending and trying to tuck around rear windshield? could you link me an example, I will start looking now and is this approach effected by
tinted windows?

 

Whats funnier than them stealing my WHOLE center console (including stero) was they stole my old OEM Battery... looked like they cut it out with snips lol... I was like, Who the f**k steals an old battery...
sad part was my alarm was in the mail from crutchfield 8(

 

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.

 

Antenna wire, or any wire of the proper gauge will work. Tinted windows won't affect it. When I did it, I just found a post similar to this one and went with it...I just ran custom wires around the window and above the headliner instead of ******* with my rear defogger.

 

the metra i had my rear glass wasn't effected by my tint.

 

Think Ima try the cable method n see where that gets me. do you think Ill run into any interference or cross talk if I run it under the carpet with my sub wires?

 

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.
