Anyone Know Where I Can Find A Good Car Tv Attenna?

[GTRAAH]

Does anyone know about any good tv attennas that work great. I have one but.... in some areas its ok but others cant hardly see anything. Anyone reccommend anything i can use to boost the reception.

when driving will always be choppy, i got a top of the range clarion antenna in my old car, which was really good when stationary.

yep a lounge chair and a roof

mobile tv is just that- mobile tv. it has WAY too many varaiables in it to maintain clear reception.

google TV ghosting , reflections and multipath reflections. for a more technical answer.

digital tuners fix it somewhat but not whilst moving.

I haev customers with $6m boats trying to do the same thing and I will not do the digital tuner on them due to cost and reception issues.

yeh thats what ive been told but do you reccomend any good attennas that do the best possible job. How much and where can i get one of those clarion attennas.

[Chris Rogers]

the antenna you are talking about is excess of $150. now if you are trying to get house quality TV in your car YOU ARE WASTING YOUR $$!!

ive got everything from sticker antennas and they didnt work..i brought antenna boosters, you cant get it clear enough ever..

sorry to hijack but on my tv im only getting sbs and no other channels....any reason???

anyone know about the factory sat nav antennas?

i ripped out the r34 factoy setup, and now have a clarion tv screen....it has input for diversity antennas but i can see the plugs are different...oly cos i cant see a mini normal stereo antenna plug anywhere...

if i trace which plug actually goes to the antennas in the pillars...how can i get hold of the plugs so i can make it work with the clarion tv??

[Chris Rogers]

if you have the diversity 2 pin plug then you need this:

as for the TV antenna - no they are a separate item. if you had the OEM TV setup in it then it will be in the roof with a diversity amplifer.

yo chris... the radio antenna part is sorted.. got a converter to go into the clarion TVX6551 and then the unit has an output to go into a normal deck antenna.. so that part rocks

the tv antennas is exactly what i am on about... i am glad you know about these...does not seem to be much info on SAU at all.

my question was phrased like crap

So...i should from what i know have tv antennas in the car somewhere cos i was picking up channel 7 (sound only) scrambled picture with the original system.

Now i want to utilise those antennas for this aftermarket clarion system.

Do you know where in the roof so I can trace them... should i pull down the a pillars?

when i find them... can i buy some pin style connectors to wire to the ends of the existing antenna plugs and then plug it into the clarion unit.

or should the pin style MINI antenna plugs already be hiding in the car somewhere...

thanks for answering so quickly chris

[Chris Rogers]

probably going to need to pull the roof. some were on the sides some were just above the antennas (where are yours?). once you find them you will see a 4 core flat cord that feeds them - follow that back and put teh appropriate connector on it. thet are alos powered so note that wire as well are power in up.
