Shark Fin Aerials - worse reception?
« on: May 02, 2011, 08:59:03 pm »
My current bee sting aerial is looking a bit tired and after a fight with a garage door is may need changing. So I was thinking I could get a shark fin type aerial. There appears to be lots available but want to keep it oem so a vw one only.

Any recommendations people?

Is the reception worse on a shark fin type?

They are usually only used for the phone/gps or you can get the one like mine with the proper aerial, gps and phone, German eBay is best place to find one.

Do what I did.....fit an OEM sharkfin and leave the beesting under the headlining!

Get rid of the radio controlled car look and keep perfect reception  :happy2:
