Default Replacement Antennas
I would like to know if anyone has replaced the antennas on the Harman-Kardon Advanced Audio System? I need to improve the radio reception. Thank you.

I tried the under fairing one, it does not work as well as the stock whip, I just put on an 08 antenna its shorter than the stocker and works a little better, it also looks better and was only 20 bucks.

The best I found for reception is the stock whips. I am using the J&M antennas on mine right now. They do not pick up as well as the whips.

J&M for me. I don't listen to AM/FM on trips, either do XM or MP3 CD's, so I don't know about FM reception. The CB has exactly the same range it did with the stockers.

I followed the lead of several others on the forum and stuck it on top of the stock radio. Magnetic mount holds it there nicely. Reception seems as good as my car.

I don't think I've seen anything that beats the stockers for reception. That being said, I have the J&M ones on right now.
