DIY: Free Shorty Antenna Mod!

[kustom play]

not really a big deal since i can make an MP3 Disk

i rarely listen to the radio as it is

but i do not have an antenna on the radio in the garage and i dont get certain stations but i can pick them up clear as day in the yaris with the antenna cut

maybe my yaris and TaKuto's are above the laws of physics

i'll alert the text book makers

you kinda missed my point... and comparing your car's radio to a completely different radio you have in your garage doesn't mean anything. It's like comparing apples to rocks.... sure... some animals eat rocks.... some toddlers eat them too.. doesn't mean they are as healthy as apples.

Your reception was degraded whether you can audibly tell or not.

radio is a radio

works the same way

even if it was its not noticeable even the least bit

maybe its because we live in big sprawling cities

not all radios are created equal...some work better than others.

Also, to broadcast it on a forum and make it sound as though there are NO ill-effects is a disservice... You've got at least one person on this board who appears to have tried it... and got the shaft.

At the very least you should be kind enough to fellow yarisworldians (???) and say, "Hey, this technically degrades your reception, so... you might screw the pooch on this one if you already have a weak reception".
