Metra 44 TY205 Replacement Antenna Vehicles Review

So you've hidden under a low hanging branch and now you need a spare antenna for your diamond. Don't buy this one. Take care of it and pay $60 for a factory Toyota. On my 1994 Corolla the screw holes were far from that.

This antenna doesn't quite match the quality of the original, but I would pay three times as much for a Toyota antenna. The reception seems pretty much the same. It was just the right fit for the 2001 Corolla replacement I used it on. Good choice for the money.

The plastic part that mounts is about half an inch longer between the screw holes. if I hadn't been stranded with a self tapping screw lying around I would have sent it back and gone to the dealer. Although the reception is excellent.

I've been thinking about upgrading the radio but it looks like I need to make a few connections for the wiring harness. Extra work + cost of a new radio in a very old car - not really worth it. We live in the country and with the new antenna I can now receive my favorite stations and not only hear distorted voices and noise. You won't mistake the result for fancy stereo, but it works great for my purposes. Here is the real reason for this rating. There may be people who know as little about car
