    Alright so I know some of us 04+ guys got stuck with the crappy radio antenna that is in the rear windshield but does anyone know of a antenna that can replace that one and get a little better reception? I have HID's and other things on my car and know that they can interfere with the connection but does anyone know of a new antenna?

    I have an xm antenna so it works fine. My 98 had it in the rear window and the reception was fine.

    It's built into the rear defroster area I believe. Pro is that it's less ugly than having an antenna on the rear quarter.

    true that, well i had done some research about why i didnt have an antenna and all i got out of it was something like almost the whole car was the antenna... so yeah lol it makes more sense that its in the rear defrost lol no worrys about haveing to replace an antenna that gets broken off... unless someone smash the rear window :O lol
