Votex Black Short Rubber 17-Inch Universal Car Antenna Kit - Durable, Flexible Outdoor FM Radio Antenna for Cars, Trucks, SUVs - Easy Installation, Stainless Steel Threads, Enhanced Reception

On my 1994 Toyota 4runner the antenna is an about 2.5 feet long steel rod, great to hit every garage door overhang and branches and trees anytime off road. I bought a 13" same style antenna, looked great compared, but the range for the HD radio wasn't great. Bought this 17" version, still looks so much better than the factory whip, and the reception is almost the same if not the same. Easy to install is subjective, I turn a wrench often so this was about a 5 minute install. Comes with multiple adapters for all the different types of mounting brackets, I used some loctight red on the adapter to the antenna, and loctight blue on the antenna to the 4runner in case I ever want to remove it. I would buy it again, good size and reception. Can't comment on "car wash proof" as many others do, I don't use commercial car washes. Excellent product, would purchase again.

As described. Installed easily.

This is a great antenna. but for some reason wont fit my 06 F250.. It comes with adaptors , but none work on it.. Im thinking someone else changed original.. Not Antenna fault

Our Willey Edition Wrangler has black accents on everything.....but Jeep decided to add a silver antennae to this trim package.....which looked very odd and out of place; plus, it bounced all over the place when on the road.... This 17 inch black antennae can flex when it needs to, but keeps its original straight shape otherwise. I did a quick Sirius XM test and our stations came in great while the vehicle was sitting in the garage with the doors closed. I haven't tested FM or AM reception yet....but will update if reception quality changes.....but we don't listen to much regular 'radio' anyway. The look is great and they include multiple adapter bolts, so the antennae should adapt to many applications.....simply select your vehicle on the Amazon page to pre-qualify your vehicle for fitment. Looks are amazing......not too short....not too tall....the goldilocks of antennaes. UPDATE: (July 11, 2022) Still like the antennae.....happy with it's reception for Sirius/XM......although STILL have not tested it thoroughly with FM/AM reception.....just never listen to local radio...haha. One thing to note: although it seems rigid when u boxing and seems rigid enough after installing on the vehicle, it does bounce and vibrate a good deal when traveling..... But still 'ok' with it so far. I have a very short/ stubby black antennae on my F150 that does not move like this one does.

I was paranoid about scraping something when backing into my garage and unfortunately my factory Jeep antenna grabbed ahold of the garage door enough to bend at the base. Ouch! So I ordered this shorter one which fits a variety of models. Well I had to be extremely careful with the paint on the fender and use a tightened Cresent wrench and Channel Loc pliers to unscrew the factory metal unit. The factory unit had a six sided part just above the proprietary jam nut that locks the antenna to the fender. I found blue thread locker on the threads of the factory whip and assume that the jam nut on the base is almost rusted solid. This unit incudes about 5 different threaded screws to mount it. I used the largest and the smallest threaded together to fit into the female side of the factory base and it works very well. Maybe I am loosing 10 miles of radio range but it works well enough for my location and it looks good enough too.

I bought the smaller version of this a while ago and had problems with my AM radio reception. I thought if I got a larger antenna that maybe I'd be able to get a better quality reception. It's a little better but I still get some buzzing with my truck. I don't know if it's my particular setup but I continue to have issues with it. FM seems okay. I'm keeping it just because it does do a little bit better to listen to some of the talk radio stations that I like to in the area.

Works great and looks great on my Jeep! I opted for this 17 inch one because reviews I read about the 7 or 13 inch ones mentioned the radio signal being affected. This one works great for me, I pick up all my preset radio stations and some oddly seem clearer than before. Didn’t think it was gonna be the right fit at first until I discovered the bag with multiple parts to make sure it’s the right fit. Just took me a few minutes to figure it out and install! So far all good!

Not A MOPAR replacement Antenna I’ve purchased the Votex 17 inch all-terrain flexible rubber antenna to replace my 36” factory installed radio antenna on my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic truck. It was advertised as a MOPAR replacement part for my model truck, it is not Installation: Installation is not difficult. If you have skills in visually differentiating thread size and count. If not you will need to have extra tools, not provided, to determine the diameter and thread size and count of your antenna coupler on your truck before you can pick one from the many they provide with the antenna. You will also need to be careful where you hold the antenna while screwing the post adapter into the antenna and the antenna into the trunk antenna coupler. If you hold it too high you will unscrew the parts of the antenna from the others. No for the novice/beginner car person, but no need to have a mechanic perform the installation. Sound Quality: The Sound quality is okay for this antenna compared to any other aftermarket short antenna I’ve purchased. Every station had static and stations I could receive with a weak signal with my factory provided antenna were nothing but static on this antenna. The Driving test was also okay at best. The sound quality of strong stations where mostly static, and the weak stations faded in and out of reception. I was hoping this antenna being 17 inches and able to get above the metal hood interference would provide sound quality equal to the factory antenna I currently have. Style: The style of this antenna is very simple and did not look bad on my truck. I’m disappointed the antenna didn’t work, I look good on the side of my truck and with its flexibility would have made it less abrupt if a tree branch or other objects were to catch on it. Otherwise, the style is very plan and simple and very lack-luster. This antenna was not worth the money I spent, and I was more than happy to return it to the manufacturer. If you are looking to purchase this antenna for you Ram 1500 Classic truck, I recommend you keep looking. This antenna is not a MAPOR aftermarket part and shouldn’t be mistaken for one. Do not buy if you are

works but reception is very poor - believe me
