yea where is the antenna for our cars? im borrowing my friends FM tuner for my ipod, and i get static when there is no music playing, so i want to know where it is to get the best signal.. thou i always thought it ran along hte left and right side of our windshield, but i just want to ask to make sure

 

the antenna is those little lines that go horizontally on the rear winshield

 

well technically the horizontal lines are the rear dfrost.. the top lines that go horizontal and vertical is the antenna

 

While we're on the subject, what's the matrix of dots on the top?

 

You sure it's not the little box that sits at the top of the rear window??? Or is that somethigng else???

 

surfingscotty, you are right, the black thingy on the bottom of our high mount stop lamp is the antenna, made by Panasonic (who makes our radios). That's the antenna.

 

I don't have the black thing...antenna is in the rear windshield. It is the upper portion of what in the rest of the windsheild is the rear defroster.

 

Nothing more than a sunshield/tint

 

If you put your FM tuner next to your Receiver... you should get good signal still...

<~~~ has fm turner too...

It is the rear lines on the rear windshield... some (mostly) are defrost...

But since the anntena hooks up to the rear of the stereo it should get reception...

 

Really.....cuz i have a small, rounded little black box thing in the upper right portion of my rear window that im pretty damn sure is the antenna.

 

I agree. However I too have the antenna lines in my window so maybe it's all part of the system...some type of modulator or something....?

 

I think that is one of the connectors to the defroster. Got a pic?

 

Hi,


I am wondering what that black box is too. My buddy told me that is was the antenna, at least the connection for the antenna. I tried to pull the cover off but it wasn't coming off easy.

Does anyone know how to safely take that off?

My reception sucks, I was going to check that first, then try behind the deck.

 

i got (had) that little box too and assumed it was the antennae.

man... now that my car's totalled, i'm kinda wondering why i keep posting here
