Tips for Identifying the FM Antenna

Correct identification of your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to a successful installation. The preceding installation section already showed you the differing kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles, however, there are several types of antennas found on vehicles which you may at first believe to be the FM antenna but in reality they are not. Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar®, cell phone, factory installed satellite radio antennas, or other type of antennas.

Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:

1.Puck type antennas and shark-fin type antennas are never the FM antenna. Figure 32 shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for an FM antenna. If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to find the actual FM antenna.
