i ordered a short universal antenna from amazon (similar to the picture attached), but when i remove the stock antenna, the threaded bit is still in the truck (not the antenna). I cant use one of the adapters, and the threaded end doesnt fit in the short antenna. its too big. I have never had that problem before
Am i turning the antenna the wrong direction to remove it (should i be going clockwise)? I didnt want to break anything, so i didnt twist too hard.
I got a "Mr. Stubby" antenna (from Amazon) for my '17 Pro4X. Reception is OK but I rarely listen to broadcast radio since I listen to SiriusXM instead.
The OEM antenna on my '07 was struck by lightning, frying all the electronic controllers in the truck so I didn't want to risk that happening again/.
stupid question, how do you get the antenna off? I am able to get it off, but the threaded part is still in the truck, i cant get that out, and the new antenna i got doesnt fit in it.
I ordered the ronin .50 cal antenna off amazon (35 bucks I think?) and so far I can't say I've noticed a huge change.. I usually don't use my radio anyways but when I do I don't think there is much difference from the stock OEM.. idk I got sick and tired of the long antenna and always removing it before a car wash. Looks way better IMO
FYI, the 2019 Titans now take a regular screw in antenna. I ordered an antenna for a 2018 and older model, and had to return it to get the one with an adapter to screw into the antenna base on the truck.
I'm looking to replace my antenna as well. Shocked that they actually use a fixed mast antenna, given how much drag those things pose on the highway. Figured they'd be more interested in making the vehicle more aerodynamic. The bullet does look like it would be a cool antenna, but I can see every little maggot being attracted to it and attempting to remove it (despite its anti-theft mechanism).
I want to change my antenna too. I'm surprised they use a stick antenna, because it creates a lot of air resistance on the road. I thought they would want to make the car more streamlined. The bullet antenna seems neat, that's why i want to upgrade
