Bee Sting aerial that gives decent reception??

[amh82]

Does it exist!!??

My recently bought 182 has a stubby aerial fitted, but the radio reception is really poor (Alpine HU), it won't lock to any stations. It also overlaps the base a little.

Can anyone recommend one that fits better and works well? I've heard CTR ones mentioned, but do they still give good reception?

I've got the Mazda MPS one and it's as good as OEM signal on mine

My C2 one is fine, my old CTR one, which sounds like it might be the one you have as that overlaps the base had shite reception as well. The C2 one sits flush.

civic type R ariel works well

Ok thanks everyone.

Could someone link to one that they have actually purchased? If I ebay C2 or CTR aerial you still end up with a load of generic stubby aerials with thread adaptors to suit many cars. So wouldn't really know if one fits well or actually works!! Cheers

Just search for cars they are 'Breaking' then fire off a message to the seller asking about the aerial and price.

 

[amh82]

Ah right, so we're talking about proper OEM ones then. I'll have a look again in that case

 

[amh82]

Forotten about this, but need to sort it!!

Other than OEM CTR or C2 stubby aerials, can anyone link to an aftermarket one that they have bought on ebay or wherever that actually works?

Cheers
