A little history on this I found on Pelican: The early cars had a fender mounted antenna. When Porsche went to a windshield antenna in the later cars, they had to add an antenna booster to make up for the smaller antenna to get good reception. I have never seen one as it lives buried in the dash. It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes I have read.
It needs power as described in the previous post. Make sure when you or the PO installed an aftermarket stereos that it wasn't disconnected, otherwise you will get bad reception. Hook it up to the power antenna lead on the aftermarket stereo and it will get power when the radio is on. This made a huge difference in radio reception for me.
As for 777's post about using a Cat5 wire as a replacement antenna, it probably would benefit from the antenna booster.
