Idyllwild II run was a little embarrassing since mine was one of the longest.
So I just got my stubby.

caraccessories was pretty quick at sending my new antenna and I love it. I got the "O" series in silver, works pretty decent in SoCal and looks great.
Now I don't need to take off my oem antenna every time I put my car cover on.

There is stubby and there is stubby.....that is STUBBY!!

Looking good!!

How is reception??? Not that it matters with MP3 CD capabilities.

Now you're gettin' it! Next thing you know the front license plate bracket will be gone, too!

I believe as one matures with SKY purchases...in the end u will eventually go with the Opel Antenna...that's the way it is.

The Caraccessory Stubbies blow when it comes to reception...Opel antenna is the way to go

Man, first its too long, now its too short, I need one thats "Juuuuussstttt Right"!!!

Nah, southern california reception is fine actually, besides i listen ::: In order of Priority ::: XM -> Ipod -> CD's -> MP3 Discs -> FM -> AM

Gabes Redline · 05-19-2008, 07:25 PM

Now your Sky doesnt suffer from looking like its controlled with a remote. Got the same antenna in Black, reception suffers a bit but a hell of a look.

SKY888 · 08-02-2008, 07:24 PM

I bought this in black. Looks a lot better compared to the OEM long antenna!

Stupid Question

Does the stubby affect XM "reception"? I ordered the B series (shipped on August 6) and listen to XM almost exclusively.

No the second antenna in the middle of the trunk does XM/OnStar.

Thanks ... that's what I thought - but I have quite a few low hanging tree branches going up my driveway and most of the time when my "bumper car" antenna hits them the XM cuts out for literally a split second. Strange

If the tree is thick enough it may be momentarily blocking the signal, when I go under larger bridged mine cuts out.
