GREAT LITTLE ANTENNA

I LOVE this little antenna. It works fine, we haven't noticed any difference in reception. I can put a car cover on my car now without having to cut a hole in the top. I'd buy it again tomorrow!

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • The shorter length may make it challenging to adjust or replace the antenna

Perfect fit slight loss of reception

nice look. good quality materials. perfect fit as described. only flaw was a slight and I mean "slight" drop in reception.

Pros
  • This little one does the job, is totally cute and I don’t have to remove it to get a car wash.
Cons
  • The short length of the antenna may reduce signal quality and reception

I like this little guy.

I put this little guy on my 2013 Nissan Frontier. It had an old style 39" mast. I don't listen to the radio much so I wasn't really concerned about reception. Just getting it through the car wash. I was pleasantly surprised that it pulled in a few stations, both AM and FM. Though I live in a metro area. I'd recommend this little antenna for anyone wanting to be rid of the mast, and not too concerned about getting faraway stations. Not that it won't. I just don't know.

Pros
  • Like how small it is and how easy it was to install
Cons
  • The two-inch length may not be long enough to reach some radio frequencies

Fits Honda S2000 on my review.

I wanted a stubby antenna for my S2000 but the Cravenspeed Stubby for the s2k is only available on weird online stores for $40 plus shipping. This one for the 350z fits the S2000 perfectly and cost half as much.Also the AM/FM signal seems good for such a small antenna. The signal seems a little bit weaker than with the oem one, but it's a good trade-off imo.

Pros
  • I love it, since it is a small replacement antenna for my SUV
Cons
  • The reduced visibility of the antenna may make it more susceptible to damage from low-hanging objects

Thinking I'll return it

I live in a suburb outside a big city. Reception has never been an issue on the cheapest of radios. I expected less due to its size but this thing is barely better than not having an antenna. Keep looking if you like your radio.

Pros
  • Have it on my 350z and at first it looks funny but onece your use to it you may forget its even there.
Cons
  • Reception wasn’t very good at all.

It’s a 2” antenna on my review.

It looks like a 2” antenna, it works like a 2” antenna.Pro: it looks better and doesn’t smash around everywhere on the trailCon: reception is non existentIf your buying this I’m assuming it’s for cosmetic reasons, and for that, 5 stars.

Pros
  • Easy to install, style and sheerness!
Cons
  • The shortened size may make locating the antenna difficult in low light conditions

Simple, Clean, and works great!

Not much I can say about it other than it does as advertised. Happy with the look of it on my 350Z and it works the way it should.

Pros
  • I like it. I have my radio back.😘
Cons
  • The antenna may not be compatible with certain vehicles or models

Replaces the stupid, anitque, fixed antenna on my Frontier. Yay!

I don't listen to the radio so, honestly, I can't tell you how well it works. but I love that I don't have to have the swaying, twanging piece of yesteryear on my 2017 truck. My only wish is that it were only one inch, instead of two.

Pros
  • What can you say, it's an antenna, pulls signals out of the air, puts them on the radio. Easu enough.
Cons
  • The stubby design may not fit the aesthetic of some cars or trucks

Bad metro area antenna

I installed the 2" stubby antenna on my 2016 Nissan Frontier mainly to get rid of the huge eyesore factory antenna. The look of the Stubby is great, barely visible. It's easy to install and so far I haven't noticed any decrease in reception in the metro area I live in. I suspect there may be some decrease in reception in rural areas but I haven't tried it out there yet.One note of caution though, this is a somewhat pricey little item that is easily stolen. Put a liquid thread locker on both…

Pros
  • Easy install good reception. No more beat up antenna while going through a car wash
Cons
  • The two-inch length may make it easy to miss stations or experience signal interference

we have xm/Siri’s radio and clarity is just as good as the day before I broke the original

If you need an antenna because you broke the one on your wife’s car, then look no further! And due to the size 2” of this antenna, you won’t break it again. Also, we have xm/Siri’s radek and clarity is just as good as the day before I broke the original. 😉

Pros
  • Works good.
Cons
  • The shorter length may not be compatible with aftermarket radio equipment or modifications

You should buy it! - my new review

I’ve never used a radio, but this item made my car younger, because mine old one seems like from 90-s😂I recommend! That's my review.

Pros
  • Probably have good signal in my area, but my stations still come in when I listen to the radio
Cons
  • Lost almost all local channels

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No radio reception.

I bought this so my antenna wouldn’t scrape when I pulled in/out of my garage. The only reason I’m giving one star is because it fits now. I have terrible radio reception. My screen used to tell me what song/artist was playing. That doesn’t happen anymore. Not worth the money because I don’t have a radio anymore. I have attempted to take off and reacted on again Incase I may have done it wrong. Nothing works. I’ll be putting my old antenna back on until I can find something better.

Pros
  • Perfect fit for my Nissan Rogue and gets great reception
Cons
  • The antenna may not effectively pick up AM/FM signals in rural or low signal areas
