Default Finally got the reception fixed

I finally got the factory radio reception fixed on my 01 coupe. Should have tried this fix in the beginning.

I installed it on the windshield where the factory antenna is. It attaches with double sided tape and connects with a 12 v power wire and a ground. Super easy, quick and efficient fix.

Thanks for the info. How about a pic of how it looks on the windshield and more details on where you tapped into existing wires for the power/ground.

I added a wire to the chassis ground in the passenger seating area. I attached a wire from there to a ground distribution block I installed in the right front kick panel. Power was from fuse location #22 in passenger footwell.
