Black denali, what antenna is that? I like it! How is the reception?

JK installed a high powered antenna on my a-pillar. I swear, I get EVERY single station. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

glad it has gotten such good feedback. tybardy, where did you ziptie yours?

I zip tied it to the hole that was left by the rubber grommit showed in the pictures above... the other zip tie was a little bit of a ***** to get threaded in, I had to bend the shit out of it to make it work. I zip tied it to the same housing that the antena screwed into.

edit... I notice to change in reception, but here in Phoenix Im pretty sure all the good stations are brodcasting pretty strong. I only listen to radio because my disk changer is broke and the same 6 disks have been in it since october 2008

I did it as well thanks to this thread. My parents live in a rural area outside of Phoenix and I noticed lower quality signal by them but in Phoenix it sounds every bit as good as before. Very happy with this mod overall. Especially as I usually listen to my ipod anyway.

on black denali's it is an onstar antenna....but i tried mine in place of the antenna, but for some reason mine is different, and wouldn't screw on.

just did it today and zip tied it in place... looks much cleaner, and i notice nooo difference in the reception in my area... only took bout 10 mins with having to secure it all down...

I did this on a camaro I had. I had to take my antenna off, find the right tap and dye threader and rethread the post, once I did that, the onstar antenna went on just fine and looked a ton better on the camaro than the damn antenna sticking 2 ft over the damn roof.

I see them and it looks good! I will likely buy that piece as well as I'm not fond of the hole either.
