Handsfree Car Kit

I am having a HandsFree Car Kit Installed that ties into the Alpine Headunit.

I have a problem, trying to find a good Cellular Antenna for the Car. I want something that I can keep inside the car instead of outside since they say they don't work good through the tint.

Any suggestions on places that sell a good antenna for the car kit that is internal or can be internally mounted ???

Thanks

This is the one I'm using. I've had it for about a year. Have not had any problems. I have'nt had any dropped calls either.

Thanks for responding,

THat is the one I bought, but all the installers keep telling me it won't help. I'll use it, and I was thinking of getting a AMPLIFIER for it.

THanks again

Just an FYI. There is no point in getting a Amplifier for a CDMA handset. CDMA has power control built in so you can't really amplify a CDMA signal.

Do you have problems with the receiption in your car without an antenna? If you don't, then you don't need one. If you have the mentioned antenna, plug it in and find out yourself if your receipion is better, worst or neutral. There are too many factors to consider. Different phones act differently to antennaes on different wireless carriers and to the different surroundings.

Yeah the ATT GSM Coverage Sucks in my area.

So I wanted to Boost it some... The Antenna is a Neutral Increase. Haven't seem any improvment. Where I live the phone won't work at all, most other places it works fine.
