New Opel GT Antenna

BlueSkyRL · 06-16-2007, 12:11 PM

I just go my new antenna for my RL from GM. It is the one used on the Opel GT in Europe. It looks far better than the stock State side antennas we all have. GM Part # 25805645

That's pretty cool!

Have a part number? What is the price?

looks good, but i already have a silver stubby "B" antenna.

Did you order this through your Saturn Dealer?

KappaMan posted this some time back about the Opel GT antenna: Recommend a short antenna

My dealer couldn't get it, so I ordered it through GMparts.com. It was about $20.00 P/N 25805645.

I looked at some of the after market antennas out there too, but I wanted one that wouldn't reduce the signal so much. Looks are great, but I want function too

The Opel GT antenna is a "loaded" type which means it will function like a full length antenna. its like the old whip CB antennas some people had on their cars many years ago. Those antennas were loaded too because of the wavelength, they would have had to be 4 times longer

Niiice!

How's the reception? Anything loss of signals that you can detect?

marlboromike · 06-18-2007, 07:49 PM

still like my STUBBY

Great...thanks for the information. I might give this one a try.

Thanks

Stubby for me, I never listen to the regular radio anyway, but reception on the stubby is really good in the NY area anyway!

mbeardsley · 06-18-2007, 08:35 PM

I just ordered this antenna also.

I ordered it from gmpartsdirect.com, $21.14 including shipping.

marlboromike · 06-18-2007, 09:20 PM

reception has nothing to do with antenna...it is the radio signal...unless u r in a valley....

If that's the case, how come I get reception on a station nearby, remove the antenna and the station goes completely away, then when I get through the car wash and put my antenna back on, the station comes back EXACTLY the moment I touch the antenna firmly to the base?

Thats cool you can order the OPEL GT parts state side. I plan on full OPEL badges and OPEL tail lights.

Mike, Mike, Mike, what are we going to do with you

The antenna length, whether in length or coiled/loaded, has everything to do with signal reception. Don't even get me started on the curvature of the earth, height of the tower, etc.

(just had to pick on you a little)

No difference to me...My 5 favorite stations still come in great

Sky4Her · 09-04-2007, 09:46 PM

I hate to bring up a post from so long ago, but I have to say thank you on talking about this.... Today my antenna hit my garage door as it was going up and I thought it was clear..... oops.... I found the Open GT one using the part number in Toy4Two's post on GMpartsdirect.com and I can't WAIT for it to come in. I'm finding myself in the Mtn's a lot here in NC so I'll post up about the reception after it arives. So far though I still have the XM trial and I havn't listened to an FM station for a month now.

SkyRed · 09-05-2007, 04:41 PM

Sky4her, You will like it. I bought it for it's looks. It looks much better, like maybe a real piece of equipment instead of just a parts bin antenna, plus, even though I don't listen to regular radio much, so far the reception seems normal. I just got it last Friday so I haven't had alot of time with it.

That is simply not the case. I put the stubby "G" antenna on my car over the weekend and lost reception to stations that are just 30 miles away immediately and I live in a relatively flat area.

I'm ordering the Opel antenna!
