Antenna
 

I have XM Satellite radio installed in my car and thats usually all I listen to. At times I want to tune to just the regular FM radio. I think the antennas on civics look retarded when you extend them, so I keep mine pushed down. Is there any aftermarket antenna that any of you have used that is short and gets great reception?

its going to look weird having 2 antenna's. But if you only listen to it at times i would just do with what you have. your going to have to run new wiring to the new antenna and drill a hole in your body. U sure you want to get another antenna even though you don't use the radio alot?

I would be replacing the factory antenna. The Satellite Antenna is already on the car. I have 2 antennas on the car already. Just looking to replace the factory antenna with a short stubby one that fits in the same spot as the factory one.

so now you wanna have 3 antennas on your car. 2 of them that will stick out of your car. even though you don't really listen to the radio?

Let me explain this in so everyone can understand it.......dropping down to 1st grade leve.

I have 2 antenna's on my car, the factory one and the satellite radioantenna. I am looking at removing the factory antenna which would give me 1 antenna.... still with me? And buying a short stubby antenna to put where the factory antenna was orginally which would give me 2 antennas.

Understand?

hey wirphotos,

over here in the uk there are a lot of modders (ricers) than replace their antenna with a short stubby one, they are called bee sting's, i suppose it is a bit ricer, but if it suits your needs...

i have the oemblock plate over the stock location. I then went and bought an antenna that I mounted on the inside of the rear window. It doesnt get as good as reception as the regular antenna, but it works. All i really need to do still is get the antenna signal booster and it will be 100x better.

I was like you and dindt like the stock one, so this is what i did.

i still have my standard antenna, i dont think its that bad, plus i never listen to the radio so its not up all that often, so wasnt really a problem for me. For example the Peugeot 106 the standard antenna on that is probably the length of the car itself...
