Hidden / stealth radio antennas

[Alspos]

I want to hide my antenna but was wondering if anyone had any experience with them?

There's some on ebay that attach to demister (pain in the butt to run so not doing it) to dipole ones and the ones with a little box and single wire?

Failing that...ditch the rear window washer and use the hole for a beesting / roof mount one.

Input?

My company vehicle has the aerial located inside the drivers side external mirror housing. Works great, totally hidden. Not sure if anyone has tried this mod on a Starion tho.

Years ago when I had the JB repainted, I welded up the stock aerial hole and used a universal kit from Supercheap Auto. Can't remember the brand, but it was an amplified type that stuck on the inside of the windscreen. A box roughly 50x50mm sat in between the rear-view mirror stalk and the screen, hidden behind the tinted band at the top of the screen. There was a stick-on aerial that stuck onto the outside, but this fell off and made no difference to the reception.
I routed the power cables and aerial cable inside the a-pillar, so it was all hidden.

Wish I still had some pics, but worth a waddle down to your local shop to check what is available.

I went to the wreckers today and went exploring. Looking at Barina/Vectra roof mounts...I think they're too big plus I couldn't be bothered pulling all the wiring as they are powered also.

Found a Mondeo front roof mount, small mount but the connector on the radio end of the cable is some stupid ass european thing.

Then I found this one. A small modification (cut a small flat on the mount) and it's just about right. I need to shave a little more off so it sits down when I tighten it up but it should be all good.






And the good thing is if I don't like it later I can still re-use the hole and remount the water sprayer in the same place.

Cost : $8
