4 out of 5 stars Pretty good reception   January 30, 2010
E. Anderson
This antenna picks up 90% of the stations, has some signal noise with some of the stations, doesn't work quite as well as larger rod type units, but still has pretty good sound. If you have a car with a faulty glass mount antenna that the dealer wants to replace for $400, then this is your cheap alternative to hide in the dash.


4 out of 5 stars Works pretty well, way better than nothing.   July 3, 2009

For cosmetic reasons my car has been without an antenna for the last 3 years. Something I have tolerated as I rarely used the radio. Without an antenna it would tune 0 stations. I finally decided to install this hidden antenna in my car for the occasional time I wanted radio and went with this one. Overall I have been fairly impressed in that it tunes in a fair number of stations. Nowhere near as good as the original antenna, but better than nothing for a hidden option.

I'm about to buy a second one for an antique vehicle of mine that never had an original antenna.

Overall a good $25 solution that is completely hidden, and provides decent reception. No regrets. Perfect for an old vehicle you dont want to drill holes in for an antenna. Not likely to be an upgrade to a modern vehicle though.

Got off to a bad start with this transaction - the seller didn't put enough postage on the package, so I had to waste over an hour and $1.79 to collect it from the local post office. I was not impressed.
I was also not impressed with the way this antenna works either - it does increase the signal strength, but it also increases the noise so there is only a marginal improvement.
I am still looking for a better solution.

I ordered a new Metra brand hidden antenna, however I received a used/or returned Antenna Works brand antenna packaged in a dirty sandwich bag. In the bag was an obviously not new antenna and the remnants of a Antenna Works package label. Complete scam and waste of my time and money.
(by the way this is your second request for my review, which I previously sent)

Too bad...I am now reluctant to do further business with Amazon.
