Review on πŸ“‘ Metra UA40 Roof Mount Antenna with Amplified Rubber for Enhanced Reception by Nick Grays

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No AM, borderline quality.

The antenna looks good from the outside. Installed as a replacement for my 2004 VW Beetle. The antenna did not work on AM. The label on the box says AM. Easily removed the antenna on the failed base unit, ordered a replacement, but that too has no AM reception. Problem with base unit. Disassembled and noted the marginal build quality of the preamp unit. I don't expect it to be more than a few years before the water corrodes the circuit board.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
