Car Stereo Antenna for In

Aux In, Usb, and Sd all work fine, but I can't use the FM radio function, due to my lack of an antenna.. I've heard of bending a coat hanger, and shoving it in, and I don't like that shotty work, and I used to have an extension, or an adapter, (Not sure exactly what it was), but It got mediocre reception, and I gave it to a friend that I hooked up a stereo indoors for..

My antenna is a piece of scrap #10 solid copper wire shoved into the antenna jack and held in with tape. This is just my setup. Any modern receiver will require a source of constant 12VDC power to maintain its memory.

Re: car radio antenna for home use? I did the same thing for my mother 6 or 7 years ago. I made an under the counter stereo using a Rat Shack power supply and a car stereo. I just used 32" of good thick wire for the antenna. Car stereo's usually pull in stations much better than many/most home-style radios.

This will ensure there is no electrical current following through any of the wiring in the car. Step 2. Locate the two ends of the car antenna to be spliced together. Cut a 1/4-inch off each end of the cables to ensure the end of the cables are clean with a fresh cut. Step 3.

Pull the ground wire of the antenna so it reaches the car frame. Find a bolt on the frame that the wire can reach. Note, you will want to find a bolt that is attaching the frame to the frame, such as a cross piece or hinge attachment, and not one that is attaching the body to the frame.
