Hide away antenna
« on: March 02, 2008, 10:02:01 pm »
My antenna motor died, so I decided to replace my antenna with a cooler looking antenna.
I left the old motor and antenna in (no use taking it out and going through the trouble of welding or covering the antenna hole).
Then installed this internal antenna which I bought from this site.

Got the idea from this guy http://www.mirage-performance.com/EclipseGSX/Stereo/antenna.html

My opinion about this antenna....FM works really well if you have it in a good position.  AM signals become lower in quality (static interference) when its enclosed inside the back trunk (unless you have it up on a higher area or outside of the car).  I guess I just have to live with a lower quality AM signal compared to before, when the AM signals can be picked up from the outside without any internal interference.
