Post by Deedee91 »

Need a new aerial for my corsa b reception is crap.

Want something different to original vaux.

I had one but never connected it, iirc you need an extension. Look good tho [emoji106]

What's the need for the extension?

I think I've got an aerial somewhere but I know it was just off eBay and only cheap don't want to drop the roof liner just to find out it's worse than the original haha

I have a shark fin on my coupe and had to buy an extension cable as the fits aren't the push and screw
The one to get tho is the the one that's amplified all you do is run a 12v ignition feed to it

I think I've sussed one.

I'm going to take the shark fin from a more modern car (these are generally connected to an amplifier) then connect to my own aftermarket amplifier (not purchased yet) and keep my finger crossed it all works out.

I could just buy another gm aerial, but I like to keep things simple
