- We reinstall the stubby radio antenna on to our Nissan 350Z and go over tips to improving/ maintaining radio reception as give some installation tips. *Warning shorter antennas have less potential for receiving radio signals, the main reason for changing the antenna is looks, not performance*.

There's a few factors. Your location and quality of the af head unit can also affect clarity. Oem units have better range in my opinion but I like the low profile antenna.
I agree, especially for AM OEM seems to be better. But I also think it's because the engineers design that unit to work in that chassis.
My works fine 🇬🇧👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Antenna length is a function of wavelength...Those Shorty Antennas may look cool but has less gain then the stock full length...If you live in the fringe of reception, those Shorty Antennas may not work for you...Using an amplifier to boost reception also brings problems of also amplifying signal noise....So you have to decide whether looking cool is more important than functionality of FM Reception...Some people don't care because they seldom listen to the radio....
Good point! I've also had good luck installing an aftermarket windshield amplified antenna and I've actually y adapted them, getting both antennas to work better. We do it for people with factory antennas but the aftermarket head unit, the AM reception degraded.
@@AnthonyJ350 If you have a good recommendation for an FM antenna amplifier for the stock rear window G35 Rear Window antenna, please let me know...
nice video.. what is that little screen mounted in your cubby hole up there and did u do a video on that? thanks
Thanks! It's a Greddy Infometer Touch. Here's the video th-cam.com/video/l9zGcAY3MQA/w-d-xo.html
on my 06 Yukon I always listen to XM so I tried the mod where people put the antenna along the top of the fender, reception was TERRIBLE! I left the antenna base their grounded to the inside of the fender and ran a wire under the windshield molding; reception is so, so but I don't really care since XM is my prime form of music. I also installed the escalade antenna delete cap. I guess I could put the rear escalade window with built in antenna if it was really important to me.
I use a y-adaptor not where I put an aftermarket amplified antenna on the inside of the windshield and make it work with the factory antenna or stubby.
Would I still need an antenna for Bluetooth on my radio?
No, not for Bluetooth connectivity. Just make sure you run a new ground wire if you are installing an aftermarket head unit.
Hi Anthony. Just tried to swap mine out, but the old one was so rusted the bolt snapped off inside the housing!
Do you think it would be best to try and drill it out, or just replace the whole housing unit?
Cheers
Edit. I tried to do it before watching this video, so would have used some lubricant if I had.
I would replace it
Where did you get your antenna from?
You can get it here: www.z1motorsports.com/stocking-stuffers/perrin/perrin-billet-aluminum-shorty-antenna-p-11706.html
What’s the thread size
Don't know
Having an HD Tuner, head unit, would pick up AM & FM signal. I also put blue thread lock on mine. Can't have them burglars take that easy.
Ya I've had stock antennas pick up AM poorly because the vehicle wasn't grounded well or the antenna connection corroded.
Haha I just realized I've never tested my antenna, had it on for 2 years now
It's nice to use for traffic reports.
@@AnthonyJ350 yea good point. Mine works fine 👌 Honda antenna
Ain’t never seen somebody steal an antenna 🤣
Are you the antenna police?
AnthonyJ350 why yes I am please send me your social security number so I can protect your antenna more safely !?
@@aaronbutterbread8470 It's Canadian, is that ok?
AnthonyJ350 I take Peso too!
@@aaronbutterbread8470 Hmmmmm I only have 5 Rupies.
My pandora radio on my phone doesn't use it so who cares? People still listen to FM radio? Why?
Traffic reports, hearing news if an event is happening? Why do radio stations still exist?
not worth a crap- have 1 on my zed
Yours doesn't work at all?
who still listens to radio anyway...
I did today listening for the traffic report.
@@AnthonyJ350 ah okey then haha but where i live radio is really really boring so i just always listen to music haha
They're decorative and non fonctional lol
Seems to work fine if you ground the vehicle well th-cam.com/video/mkWCqSfr6ig/w-d-xo.html
