Internal FM Antenna ??

Post by toysrus »

Can you get them and from where ? I want to remove the Electric one from the Starion due to the rust its creating from old no-longer-available seals to stop water seaping in plus the noise it makes from no grease somewhere and the extra weight of a gadget like that is incomprehendable not to mention the fact that the Staz looks a little weird with a stick hanging up on a corner of its body :wtf:

I got one of the internal box type ones from super-cheap and it worked a treat. I did stick the matching external antenna on the glass, but it fell off with no difference in reception.

Did you have to stick the internal box on the window right ?

Yep. I stuck it between the internal mirror stalk and the screen. This sat it behind the tinted part of the screen & totally hidden. Don't bother with the external bit unless you can't get reception. Remember that they are amplified so will need 12v. I also managed to route the cables down inside the passenger A pillar, but I had the interior gutted at the time.

The $0 way of doing it is supposed to be to leave it fully extended, but sit it across the boot under the carpet, uses the original arial, costs nothing and cant be seen
