LOL, yep. If no one does it within the next ~3 months, I may step up to the plate. But I sure hope someone does it before then.

I did order one, but I'm deployed right now. I'm going home in about a month so don't fret guys, I'm gonna get it done and let you all know how it goes, haha. I'll post up where I mount it and if I used any adapters and all that. I'm sure I'll have to get adapters because it's a Motorola terminal and I don't think those fit in our stereos from what I've heard. But I have an Alpine so I'm not sure yet. I will post in about a month though.

Awesome, well hopefully that will be the case here. Now I just have to decide where to hide it. |

I'd run it behind the hatch above the taillights.

So I've been thinking about where to hide this antenna. I was thinking about laying it across the rear harness bar and wondering if that would help reception, basically making it a bigger antenna, but I'm not sure if it will work like that. |

I forgot all about this. I bought the one in the link and installed it a couple months ago. At first I just removed my stock antenna and disconnected the cable going to the stock one. It was a male end, and I connected it with the male end of the hidden antenna using a female/female RCA adapter. However, the adapter was kinda loose so I taped around it...I know, ghetto. It worked, but it seemed like there might have been a little static. Although I have new door speakers too so it could be that, who knows. I also didn't have AM. Recently I just bought an extension cable for the antenna wire because my stock wire was screwed up on the stereo end anyway. So I ditched the stock wiring and adapter and hooked everything up correctly. Unfortunately I've had the car apart again since then so I haven't tried it to see if anything changed. I'll post up when I do. |

Oh just a very little bit of static, barely noticeable. I forgot to mention where I mounted it. It's an FD, and I put it all the way in the rear of the hatch, behind the plastic. I didn't actually mount it to anything, I just have it laying in there.

Well, considering I pulled my stock one and had the hole filled in during body work and paint...absolutely hahaha. Actually I do think it's worth it regardless though. Like I said, I haven't seen whether I get AM yet (there is one talk station I listen to, so I'd like to have it), and I think there MIGHT have been one FM station I didn't get that I normally listen to, which is kinda odd, but it's a good antenna from what I can tell. The stations come in really clear.
