Customers find the installation of the antenna to be easy. They mention that it takes seconds to connect and mount. They also say that it's a great antenna for in-dash installation, and a simple way to add a hidden antenna to a classic car.

"...Simple to install and it works just fine for our old car." Read more

"...Easy to install, best when you HAVE to hide the antenna and can't drill holes.Revised after using the boat...." Read more

"...for purchasing this antenna is the ability to conceal it, ease of installation, and price...." Read more

14 customers mention14 positive0 negative

Customers like the antenna. They say it's totally hidden under countertop, behind the dash, and easy to hide right along the windshield. They also say it works well and hides well. Some mention that the antenna is all inside so it doesn't transmit noise to the radio.

"...good as the old external antenna on the fender, and is completely hidden behind the dash." Read more

105 customers mention71 positive34 negative

Customers are mixed about the reception of the antenna. Some mention that it gets pretty good reception from their head unit on their motorcycle with this, and that it improves the FM reception greatly. It picks up strong signals easily enough, and gets their favorite station fairly well. However, some say that the radio had terrible reception, and didn't improve their signal. The signal still fades in places, and isn't as good as a mast antenna.

"...I got this right, but once I found its sweet spot, every station comes in crystal clear...." Read more

"...I have not tried powered antennas so I can't compare. But I get pretty good reception from my head unit on my motorcycle with this passive..." Read more

"...So, naturally, the radio had terrible reception. Wanting to avoid drilling out the hole, etc. I ordered this...." Read more

"...The reception is great, as good or better than my car antenna." Read more

15 customers mention7 positive8 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the antenna. Some mention it fits their old car radio, stereo, and boat perfectly, while others say it's too short and reception is not that good. The length of the cable is quite short, making it understandable that you're not going to get any improved signal.

"This antenna looks ok however due to the short lead length, it cannot be placed too far from the receiver itself, this means that it is generally..." Read more

"...The wire is the optimum length for the FM band of frequencies. I have it coiled inside a portable PA box that has an FM radio...." Read more

"I took away one star because the length of the cable is quite short. The product works to a relative degree.. that is.. relatively effective...." Read more

"...on a sailboat... No FM antenna on the previous radio.. this one fit perfectly and enabled excellent reception." Read more

11 customers mention0 positive11 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the antenna's reception. They say it does not pick up local stations, and is not good for AM stations. Some customers also mention that it receives a signal only when they are holding it bare.

"...(dozens of) stations that my car radio can, but it was only able to pull in maybe 5 stations I tried different antenna positions, including holding..." Read more

"...for a radio that needed to be replaced on a sailboat... No FM antenna on the previous radio.. this one fit perfectly and enabled excellent reception." Read more

"...This will not do anything for AM signals.It's not the greatest antenna, but it's the best in its price range." Read more

"...Though once it's hidden and it doesn't pick up a certain station then I guess Im SOL because I cannot constantly keep re-positioning it after it's..." Read more

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

This antenna worked great! Some of the bad reviews are likely due to poor placement or isolation. When I first connected it, I was getting tons of static but the station would still come in strong. It took me a few different orientations before I got this right, but once I found its sweet spot, every station comes in crystal clear. I've worked in electronics for a very long time, and if there's one thing that's certain, it's that antennas are the most finicky devices in the world. Sitting in the wrong place in the room can make your FM turn into complete static if you turn your head the wrong direction, which is why movies and TV shows always depict people doing funny contortionist moves to retain clear broadcast signal while a coat hanger is sticking out of the tuner. The same applies today.

If at first you don't succeed, try moving the antenna again. Remember too, that the shape and angles of it also affect reception. Oddly enough, I purchased this to be an internal antenna in my SUV and the best place for reception was shoved vertically down the inside of my C-pillar. As mentioned before, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to it, but just place it where it works best, and this is true of ANY antenna.

Works Great!

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

I bought a 1996 Toyota Tacoma recently. The kid who owned it did not like the radio mast antenna, so he used body filler to fill in the hole. So, naturally, the radio had terrible reception. Wanting to avoid drilling out the hole, etc. I ordered this. At first, I could only get a few stations and was dissatisfied. But buy moving the wire around under my dash, I found it worked as well as a mast antenna; at least for our local FM stations. What was strange is I only had to move the extended wire a few inches for optimal reception.
As a test, I hooked up a FM "T" shaped antenna to the end of the antenna wire I bought. No improvement in reception. So this device alone does a fine job.

Works fairly well. Used as a hideaway antenna on an aftermarket motorcycle fairing

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

This antenna does the job fairly well. Although its stated to be a dipole antenna, I don't think that is accurate. A true dipole would probably offer lightly better reception, but this antenna was exactly what I was looking for and does an adequate job of signal reception. It has no problems bringing in the stations I listen to, and I live about 20 miles outside the city where most of the station transmitters reside.

One caveat, and I almost gave this antenna a 1 star rating before stumbling onto this by accident before writing my review:

When my phone is plugged into the USB port to charge, signal reception gets COMPLETELY wiped out. I am lucky if I can get ONE station reliably. This could have more to do with my phone or my radio than this actual antenna. Obviously one of them causes enough interference in the charge circuitry to wipe out radio reception. Unplug the phone, and reception is fine.

Hope this helps somebody!

My phone is an iPhone SE (the older one), and my radio is a Sony DSX-M80.

This Works Great for the Radio Mounted in the Basement Compartment of My RV

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

I installed this for the new radio in the basement compartment of my motorhome because I didn't want to go through the hassle of connecting it to an antenna on my roof. Based on the reviews, I was hoping that this antenna would do the job. Wow, it more than met my expectations. Without the antenna connected, the radio would seek the entire FM range without finding a station. Once I plugged in the antenna, it found just about as many stations as my car radio. It's not as sensitive to position as I thought that it would be, but it does work better if you can extend it rather than leaving it coiled. I attached it to the top of the basement compartment, which is about 3 feet above the ground, and it works great. That doesn't make sense to me since it's mounted in a horizontal plane, but it works so I'm happy. I don't notice any degradation when I move around either, so my body doesn't seem to interfere with the signal like it does with many wire antennas.

Not quite long enough for decent reception

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

This antenna looks ok however due to the short lead length, it cannot be placed too far from the receiver itself, this means that it is generally shielded by a lot of metal around the dashboard. This does not lead to ideal conditions for AM reception, FM is slightly better, but still poor compared to a properly mounted exterior antenna. This will only get the strongest of stations.

Simple, cheap and works just fine

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2013

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

I used this "pig tail" style, passive antenna with an Infinity head unit mounted in a fairing on my motorcycle. I experimented with antenna lay-out while using the auto-tune feature of my head unit to determine best placement and path inside my fairing. Note: Do NOT let the antenna flop around loose or leave it coiled up. To get best reception you will need to unravel it and experiment with placement.

Once I found an acceptable lay-out I taped it down in place. I have not tried powered antennas so I can't compare. But I get pretty good reception from my head unit on my motorcycle with this passive (and super cheap) antenna.

Works great for multiple applications

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2019

Pattern Name: AntennaStyle: Soft Wire Marine Antenna BlackVerified Purchase

After reading a review that stated this got a great signal without even mounting the antenna, I decided to give this a shot for my trailer remodel. I had pulled the old antennas off the roof and sealed it all up, so I really didn't want to go poking new holes. I gutted the original defunct dvd/am/fm system and gained a little more cabinet space by using a short single din radio instead. I simply plugged this antenna in and coiled it behind the stereo toward the exterior wall. The reception is great, as good or better than my car antenna.
