Review on 4In Stubby Antenna For Mazda Miata 1992-1998 - CravenSpeed Compatible by Jonah Koehnke

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks Great, Works Great

This is Amazing for the Following Reasons:[1] Fit[2] Appearance and Color[3] Reception[4] Comparison[5] InstallationFIT:This product is a perfect fit for the 2017 Mazda Mx-5.The stock OEM antenna stands over 15 and 1/2 inches tall; This stubby antenna is less than 4 inches !APPEARANCE AND COLOR:This product perfectly matches the color and the size of the base to which it mounts on the car.RADIO RECEPTION:I live in a small city. The radio reception is the same as the OEM version with zero loss. I am still receiving multiple HD Radio channels per station. Some stations have more than one HD channel. I am also still receiving traffic updates over the Radio as well.HOW DOES IT COMPARE:Days after I purchased my mx5, I shopped online for a shorter antenna and ordered one from revain, which advertised as a direct replacement for the OEM. Well, it was not. It was a straight cylinder piece with a bag of various sized screw inserts for attachment. The correct antenna must be wider at the base, like a 3D cone, rather than a cylinder. I had to return that one and ordered this one as a replacement. And, I am so very very glad that I did. Because this antenna is perfect and also has an excellent price-point.INSTALLATION:Unlike the other product that came with a bag of various screws, this product was all ready to go straight out of the package. No assembly, no adapters, no additional hardware. Two easy steps, (1) Unscrew old antenna. (2) Screw on new antenna. No Tools, No Guesswork, No Fit Checks.Easy as 1, 2. That's it. two.
