Frequently Asked Questions

What types of car antennas are available?

Car antennas come in various forms, including fixed mast, telescopic, shark fin, internal glass-mounted, and power antennas. Each offers different benefits in terms of range, durability, and aesthetics.

How do I choose the right antenna for my vehicle?

Consider your car model, preferred mounting location, signal needs (AM/FM, DAB+, satellite, etc.), and driving environment. Urban drivers may prefer compact designs, while rural drivers benefit from longer antennas.

Why is my radio reception poor or cutting out?

Poor reception can stem from a damaged antenna, loose connections, corroded mounts, or interference. Replacing old components can restore signal clarity.

How do car antennas work?

Car antennas capture radio signals from nearby broadcast towers and transfer them to your car’s audio system. Longer antennas typically offer better signal reception, especially in rural areas.

How do I install a new car antenna?

Remove the old antenna, fit the new mount or bracket, secure the antenna, and connect the coaxial cable. Always ensure it’s sealed and appropriately grounded for weatherproofing and signal strength.

How can I improve my antenna reception?

Use high-quality cables and mounts, maintain tight connections, and avoid placing antennas near electrical interference sources. Upgrading to an amplified or longer antenna can also help.

What are common problems with car antennas?

Common issues include corrosion, physical damage, broken cables, loose mounts, and poor grounding. Regular inspections and timely replacements help maintain performance.

What is a power antenna?

A power antenna extends automatically when the radio is on and retracts when off. It offers a sleek appearance and protects the antenna from damage when not in use.

Can I use my existing antenna for satellite or digital radio?

Standard AM/FM antennas aren’t compatible with satellite or DAB+ signals. You’ll need specialised antennas or adapters designed for these formats.

What are the pros and cons of short versus long antennas?

Short antennas are short, sweet, and good-looking, but may have reduced range; in contrast, long antennas offer better reception (especially in remote areas) but are more prone to damage from branches or car washes.
