shark fin antennea

[cprytherch]

hi all. so on an impulse buy, i bought a 10 dollar pilot brand IP2206 sharkfin antenna from pepboys last week. i was wondering if any of you here have any input on the part? experience or reviews? i saw the thread with the well more expensive focus one but is it necessary to spend that much? on a part like this? anyone know of any other affordable ones that are great buys if i should return this one?

I will say this much...Stop impulse buying. I took a look at your link and it says that one of its features is "Not a real working antenna." That should be enough of a review to return it. unless you don't listen to the radio.

Doesn't work plus that reflector

That will never fit it's too small.

Buy this one, I have it on my car, it fits perfectly, radio still works, only $24 and it comes in fashion colors:

Lmao well fml haha. I'll be returning it asap then. Glad I didn't open it. I'm more disappointed in myself impulse buying a pos than if I lose 10 bucks haha. There was a fost in thelot that I parked next to that night which was what made me even stop lol. Thanks

It is large enough to fit but if it is as shitty as it is then fitment is irrelevant lol . is the eBay one you posted compatible with the satellite radio also? Not sure how that works

Yeah the one you posted is quite squatter, it would have to be quite grand to fit....the one I linked works fine for satellite radio, I’ve tested it. And it comes in 6 fashion colors.

Just get the Real OEM one. I scooped this up it has the oem black paint as well works with navigation and satellite the whole 9 yards. Its like a 15 min install. Part number is JJ7T-19G461A-AA5G9Z. The last set is the color code.

When you say OEM you mean this is a Ford Part?
