Found this today and thought it might be helpful to someone considering replacing the antenna mast.

 

Thanks for the info! Soon I'll be able to access it...

 

Are there any good alternatives to the electric aerial? I would like to replace mine with some less visible solution, but I don't know what or how...

 

It all depends on how strong the signals are from the stations you want.

No practical alternative I know of will be as good a receiver as that big pole our cars came equipped with. But if your stations are very strong, this may not matter at all.

A google of car antennas will show you many options. Installation of any would probably be pretty simple ... a signal lead connection, and disconnecting the power from the current antenna's motor.

Somebody, Avos I think, reported recently on one he installed, but I can't seem to find that at the moment.

 

Hi, guys.

See posts 59 and 60 in this thread:

I'm thinking of buying the second alternative. Either one can be nicely hidden, but I like the reviews for tuned antenna rather than the powered one.

Your thoughts?

 

I guess I am lucky. I have great reception with my aerial retracted.

 

Great guide. Made it an easy install for me. Many thanks.

 

Thank you! It looks like a pretty easy job.
