Antenna in trunk



Has anyone ever made a permanent fitment of their radio antenna in the trunk?

I have filled in the hole in the fender, and prefer not to buy a new windshield and amplifier as they are very costly.

Perhaps it could be placed in a plastic tube and run across between the sunvisors?

What is the optimum length needed?

I was told that some unmarked security vehicles have antennas inside so they remain stealthy.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Keep smiling, you own a Porsche, and there is NO substitute.

Thanks,

I just bought one and will give it a try.

For $35 it is worth the risk.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it.

To those who don't, have a nice day.

Let us/me know how it works out. I'm considering one, also.

Thanks,

Same here I need to replace my winshield and this would be a lot cheaper then buying one with an internal antena.

I had one of those powered FM antennas that simply stick on a window, worked great. I stuck it on the back window of my 914 and you'd never notice it...

I purchased a power boosted compact antenna that mounted under the dash from Radio Shack. It was cheap and works great.
