Non-external antenna?
-
Im not sure what its called but has anyone used one of those antennas that just plug into the deck provision and then you place a wire strung out under the dash (or wherever) instead of hooking it up to an antenna mounted outside the car?
I mounted the cd player under the drivers side bucket seat on my 68 galaxie and I filled the fender antenna hole so im just wondering if I could get by with one of these (like this thing)? Its for the AM/FM function not something fancy.

I've had good luck with this (I do recommend getting it locally, if at all possible). But I'm sure, like weshole stated, I may have less steel to deal with.

hey thanks for the opinions and links. Im gonna look at the defroster area of my dash to see if I can semi-conceal that thing that wes posted (cant do back window--convertible top). Im gonna check the area at the top rear of the back seat too. Otherwise I guess I might have to go with one like starke posted.

I used a powered antenna in a lot of boats when I did car audio stuff. Maybe Chuck could get you one? Its made by Metra. I found it at www.metraonline.com, here's the one I'm talking about: http://retailer.installationexcellence.com/productfeatures.aspx?retailerid=1944&productid=2597&sid=4C8111A5-4F19-49C2-806A-233C585EFE3C They work really well actually. You could mount it up on the windshield, top of the dash, or maybe even inside the dash somewhere to see if it will pick up stations. I'm not sure if the antenna cable is long enough if you were to put it up on the windshield, let's say up by the rear view mirror, but you can get extensions for that.
