Even though it's designed to be vertical, I've heard others say that locating the mast under the dash pad works for them. Never tried that myself, just second-hand info.

Has anyone here tryed the interior windshield mount antennas?

What other options do I have, to shave off the factory antenna?

I like the fins, but the ones that do FM just seem to stick out too much.

Right the BMWs and Acuras alike are for Sat.

What other cars have these types of antennas?

From what I've been reading the BMW ones, aren't for FM. Just SAT and bluetooth.

I also found this one,

I would like to find one that isn't as notable tho.

You coul just toss it on the outside, close the hatch up and run the wire thru the car just to "test" it

The amplified one I got has the turn on lead right at the plug.

Yep that's the one I found too.

Ya don't like the idea of drilling a hole, unless I know for sure it's going to work. That's why I was hoping to find a factory one from a BMW or Acura (anyone else use them?)

Thats the one I was looking at for the Alero.

Im just turned off about drilling a hood through the roof of my car. Especially if the reception with this sucks the big one!

I got an Metra amplified antenna from best Buy. $25 deal. It sucks so bad I unhooked it...

[quote="cargodz"]That's how I knew what styles the BMWs have... I've done a couple installs of H/Us on them ]

Cool :)
I found one on Ebay (looks like an 3rd party thing)
Just wondering the quality of them tho.

I was hoping to find a real ones on there, but so far nothing.
