Metra® - Replacement Antenna

Product does not appear as the same level of quality as original, but works well. Doesn't fit the opening in fender just right. Well enough to use.

This product was fairly easy to install mechanically and worked well. However, it is advertised as compatible when that may only be true in part. It comes with a Motorola radio jack for which no counterpart exists in the car installation. My 2006 Corolla LE has no modular connection like this, but rather it has a direct wire connection. To make this work, I had to cut that wire and solder on a series of radio shack acquired parts to create a plug in for the Motorola connector. Alternatively, I could have cut off the Motorola jack and soldered directly to the car antenna wires, but this would have made it harder to return it (if not impossible) if it didn't work. Antenna wires are tedious to solder since they are of a very thin gauge. Buyers should be made aware of this in the description.

This antenna is stronger than OEM. It fits perfectly with no modifications needed. Excellent product.

It is an exact reproduction of the original except for the cable connecting it ti the radio. That connection cable is an improvement! Delivery was quick. I am very pleased!

The product was the only option I could find to replace the factory antenna, which I was led to believe was the cause of he poor AM reception I experience. Replacing the radio did not solve this issue. The antenna was not a simple drop-in replacement. It was necessary to enlarge the hole in the fender, and a slight mark remained on the fender where the old antenna had attached. It is not the antenna's fault, but my reception problems remain.

This product was not a drop in as stated. Had to modify the hole. Handling the antenna and the antenna wire fell out of the antenna, not crimped firmly. Repaired and cut hole a little larger and installed. Seems expensive for what you get and needs better quality control.

The antenna wire was just too thin did not have a plug big enough to put into the body of the truck. Wire was not long enough to go from the fender to the radio. There were no instruction on how to install the antenna due to its being different than the manufacturer antenna and wires. Still have a problem getting am radio stations.

My adventurous five-year old decided he should remove our antenna since it was a hassle removing it at the car wash - he snapped it off. Did not find a replacement for a few years. Wow, TRUCKiD made it really easy to get this item and at a reasonable price!

Expected just the stick to screw in. However I received the whole unit, which I believe is better than the original. I just have to take it to the dealer and have them install it.

I purchased the antenna to replace the one in my Sprinter Motor Home. It is a perfect fit an looks just like the one on the vehicle from the factory. The antenna was an easy install.
