This antenna main design is for appearance enhancements. Its AM/FM radio reception performance is great for local stations (Satellite Radio/Navigation/Bluetooth not effected). But for some it may not work as well as it worked for others and there could be many factors besides antenna itself. Like most short replacement antennas you may loose some radio reception. This really varies by vehicles and also depends in the area that you live. If you live in a rural area the reception might not be too good. and AM stations may not work well specially in Country side. As a general rule, strong stations will be fine and weak stations will be reduced. So please consider this before buying. These antennas are made of pure copper and unlike the oem antennas, they are not amplified but look cool. More durable and longer lasting.

Open Box Received
Antenna is working but the box is open when I received it, looks like a used item in which the previous customer had returned it.

Did what I wanted it to.....kind of. UPDATE !!!
I actually LOST some reception distance, even hardly picking up a powerful station right here in town. Since I run Bluetooth and mostly listen to the songs on my phone, I guess I can let it slide. It was packaged nicely, fast shipping and made the 2008 Xterra look a lot better than having the old long wire flapping around. That's the reason it still gets 4 stars.UPDATE - After exactly 1 month and hooking up SirusXM a week ago, I can actually say that this antenna definitely does not bring in the signal that a normal one would. In my 15 minute commute to/from work each day, at least 1/2 of it is spent listening to silence while the radio "loads". Unfortunately, I am having to go back to my stock antenna and will look for a different brand while being stuck with this. Maybe I can give it to a co-worker for aesthetics only purposes.

I like this product and if you need a new antenna ...
My purchase of the KEYO1E Antenna was due to an employee at the local Car wash broke my original antenna when trying to take it off. I received the new antenna in two days as promised by the seller. The antenna is solid from head to toe and therefore there is no reason for the car wash staff to even remove the antenna prior to entering the carwash but if they do there is no way to brake this one. It is also about approximately 2" or 3" inches shorter than the original antenna so you get a low profile look. The radio sound and quality are the same as the original antenna that came with the vehicle.I like this product and if you need a new antenna for your vehicle I suggest you buy this one.

After competitive testing, this antenna performs the best for AM & FM signal reception.
I've tried two other brand models and this short stub Antenna performs the best. Released in July 2019, this amazing Antenna replaces your OEM whip Antenna. If you're like me, your original whip antenna (and/or antenna base) was damaged in an automatic car wash. The logical answer is to replace your OEM whip antenna with a sleek and beautiful short stub. I've tested and tried two competing models from a popular competitor, (Brand X) on Amazon. The major issue is the AM & FM signal reception from strong local radio stations is full of static and weak. It's a compromise, until now. Now you can run through your automatic car wash and have great short stub Antenna reception from both AM & FM. This brand and model by far outperforms Brand X in terms of quality and performance. A bit more money, but worth every penny. Thank you Amazon and KEYO1E.

Good at first - Starting to fade
Purchased in late 2019 for my 2020 Silverado. Really happy at first - looked nice and no noticeable loss in reception. However, in less than a 10 months, the black finish on the antenna is getting washed out and turning gray (pic). The black trim on the truck still looks new so, it has to be the antenna material.Had no noticeable loss of reception at first but, over time (again, 10 months) have noticed that radio stations that once had clear reception, now have static and are not picked up at the same distance they originally could be picked up.

Not Very Happy, But Product is What it is
The antenna does NOT function as well as the original antenna on a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Across the board, I’m losing 25-35% of my reception.However…The sellers honestly and accurately warn us consumers before buying in the product description that this will happen. I took a chance hoping the difference would be minimal, but it wasn’t, and the seller warned me.So even though I’m disappointed with this purchase, I took a chance on my own even after the disclaimer from the seller. So, I’m giving five stars because this is on me, not them. The product description is 100% accurate, it’s obviously a quality-made product and fit perfectly.
