Active car antenna in "shark fin" style (Shark Fin) – a modern, stylish and functional replacement for the standard factory antenna. The model is designed to improve the appearance of the car and protect it from damage at automatic car washes. The antenna has dimensions of 160×78×70 mm, making it compact and harmoniously integrated into the roof line of most vehicles.
Made from high-quality materials, resistant to UV rays and temperature changes. Inside the housing there is an active electronic board that ensures stable FM radio reception without signal loss after removing the standard whip antenna. Thus, the product is not only decorative but also a fully functional solution.
The antenna is equipped with a soft rubber gasket around the base perimeter, ensuring a tight seal against the body and protection against moisture ingress. For mounting, strong double-sided 3M tape included in the kit is used, or automotive sealant – installation is simple and requires no drilling.
