Car aerial
Goes without saying that you like to listen to the car radio while driving. For easily listening to
the radio a good reception via your car aerial, also called a car antenna, is
essential. To ensure high audio quality we offer different types of car aerials.
The 16V antenna is called the ´classic whip ´. These days different variants of
the 16v car aerial are available. Although the long car whips still exist, so-called short stick or retractable antennas are also available. In general,
just as the name implies, a short stick is a short antenna. These are often
just a few centimetres in length and therefore way more stylish than the in
general 40 centimetres long classic car whips. In addition to the classical car
whip and short stick antenna, there?s also the shark fin aerial. These look
slightly more classic and less notable than a stick. For good reception, you no
longer need a long antenna on your car. Do you want to go for a stylish look?
Then you can also opt for a nice colour. At Winparts you can choose from
different colours such as red, chrome, blue or a white antenna.
Replacing a car aerial
Does your current car radio aerial no longer works to
your satisfaction or do you want to go for a different look? Then it's time to
replace your car aerial. This is a job that you can easily and quickly do
yourself. Certainly not worth the trip to your local garage. Simply order the
product that you want at Winparts. Received them? Then unscrew the current
antenna from the roof of your car. Leave the base as it is. You can then simply
screw the antenna or short stick back onto the base. Please do pay attention to
the correct size though. Some only fit cars with an M5 or M6 thread size.
Prefer a shark fin for
your car instead? First, screw the current car radio aerial from your car and
screw the end pole of the shark fin on the stand. Then check whether your car
radio has good reception. Before installing the shark fin, we recommend that
you first thoroughly clean the roof around the antenna. This way you prevent
possible scratches and other damage to the paintwork. Place the shark fin on
the base and carefully check if the shark fin is properly fixed in line with
the lining of your car. Is it properly aligned and does your radio have good
reception? Press the shark fin firmly for about a minute.
DAB car aerial
DAB and especially DAB+ is the successor to FM. With a DAB car aeria l you can receive far more radio stations than with FM. In
addition, the audio is of far higher quality, without any crackling noises.
With this antenna, you can receive both digital channels and FM channels over
the air for free. With DAB you can find the radio stations by alphabet instead
of by frequency. To receive DAB+ you need a DAB car antenna, of which we offer
a wide assortment at Winparts.
