dual antennaes?

anyone where I can get a picture of even the antennae cable(s) for my A100. It apparently came equipped with 2 antennaes, one by each A-pillar that connected to some sort of Y-block(?) then connected to the radio by a single cable. The truck had its radio & antennaes in/on it but they weren't connected so I don't know how they hooked-up.

unicorn for sure

I have never seen two antennas on an A100, probably someones custom work ???

Maybe. But the antennaes match so well and their location seem too exact to be some backyard customizer's work. My guess is maybe a dealer installed thing? In any event, it's what I got & I'm trying to get it back to somewhat original appearance.

I have had several vehicles with dual antennae's and was nothing more than a splitter with one in stereo and two out. they sell both female and male so make sure to get the right one. less than ten bucks and $2 bucks if you buy straight from china. I searched "car antennae splitter" on ebay and found this.

I learn something new every day...

I'm not sure why two antennas were needed. I wouldn't think if you were getting poor radio reception that a second antenna four feet from the other antenna would pull in the station any better???

I think it was of just a COOL factor.

Speaking of antennas...

I am going with a modern stereo and I filled in the antenna hole. Besides using the screen for a backup camera I has going to use it for GPS and satellite radio.

I was going to use a shark fin antenna on the roof, has anyone done this and were your results good?

Thanks...

Thanks! That looks like just what I need!

Shark fin on the roof... now that is COOL!

I think it will look good, the latest fins that are on the last couple years seem to be a little smaller than the previous generation fins.

I saw one the other day on a Hyundai or a Kia SUV that I really liked, it had an art deco look to it from the side and it was smaller than most.
