Review on πŸ“» Bingfu Car Antenna: Hidden Patch Antenna for Car Stereo FM AM Radio - Adhesive Mount for Vehicle Truck SUV by Tony Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great! Easily hidden. Couldn't get any better for $

So I had to take the time to write a quick review after installing this antenna in a customer's golf cart today. I'm very tired of buying this product after reading a bunch of bad reviews about the crappy signal and the connector that falls off out of the box. None of this happened to me, in fact I am delighted with this product for the price (and the buyer is very satisfied)! It didn't look cheap at all (I checked ALL the connections 3 times), let's see how the adhesive strip holds up (I'm guessing that, mainly from the reviews again but nothing bad was found or anything), but it worked. and sticks pretty well when installed. My guess is that most people don't know how to properly prepare the surface for tape and so have had problems (just clean with rubbing alcohol to remove surface contamination and dry, it works every time and almost always falls off , if you do skip this one step). The receiver and antenna itself are very small and thin, making them very easy to hide. I used mine in a golf cart and placed it about halfway up the front window frame (I was concerned that if I tried to place it behind/under the dash the reception would be terrible). Reception wasn't great but I reckon it's probably pretty close to 'standard' and you really shouldn't expect more, especially as this one isn't 'boosted' or anything. I actually bought a second one (at the same time) in case the reception wasn't great with this one, but I kept it because it was fine! A small downside was that the antenna connector that goes into the main unit/stereo was quite large so it was a bit difficult to plug in and then when I tried to pull it out to reroute the cable I had some issues . too (obviously BC was difficult). but it wasn't that big of a deal just be aware and be careful and everything was fine. Can't beat for $$!
