Hi i'm respraying my car and i wanted to remove the stock vtir aerial and move it elsewhere. My question: Ive heard people say before how you can get an aerial on your rear window, similar to the rear defogger....


Is this true and does anyone know where you can buy these from?

r is there any other way? I want an aerial but i dont want a big donk on the exterior of the car


Cheers

My 2005 GLi has an aerial in the rear glass, im not sure it you can get them aftermarket though.

Get a "shark fin" style BMW antenna, they look kool.

mate i couldnt really care how "shit" it is, im more of a cd person, and never use the aerial,

the only off chance i do use the aerial is when hook up a FM transmitter to my ipod, and I dont see how the reception would be shit from 1.5M away

Actually, When you mount them on the glass like the instructions say they work jus as good as any stock aerial. The only problem that I've seen with them are wen they are not mounted to glass they get really bad reception. Follow the instructions and it will be fine..
