i have that kind of antenna with our L300 versa van installed i think 9yrs ago pa yata. it seems the OEM telescopic antenna didn't work that much with my new after market HU so that's why i bought that so called powered/boosted one. but nothing had changed, FM radio sounds garbled still. i play CDs most of the time anyways and i didn't bothered to buy another antenna until the van was sold.

6 sides siya so dapat hex screws should work. pero yung bottom part niya parang curved and shallow (dunno kung dahil na rin sa pagkaluma) that's why the hex screws won't "bite". i'll post a picture when i get the chance.

thanks for the info. so i think mas ok na i-troubleshoot na lang yung stock antenna.

may improvement naman ang fm reception from my old HU. pero minsan may static lang talaga at nawawala ang signal. can't help but compare it with our other vehicle (civic vti with a motorized antenna and stock HU) na malinaw reception even sa parking.

Actually curious ako if antenna nga ba may tama or may nagbago sa modulation ng mga FM stations sa Manila?

Was in the same dilemma 2 months back. Humina yung sagap so I thought antenna rin. Chineck ko naman yung wires gamit multimeter, buo naman. Bumili na rin ako ng booster saka pampalit na antenna, ganoon pa rin. May hissing noise talaga habang gumagalaw, pero malinaw naman pag steady lang ang sasakyan. Then a few days passed and scheduled na for hilamos yung sasakyan ko, so nakigamit muna ako sa iba. Pag-tune ko sa mga usual stations sa ibang sasakyan ganoon din.

In the end bluetooth + Spotify na lang muna tuloy ako hehe

sabagay meron nga ibang fm stations na humina. must be the taller buildings causing interference.

...isn't that a torx screw?
but it seems, eyeballing it.. you can also use an ordinary flat-blade screwdriver of correct size.. just be careful the outer edges do not scratch too much the antenna cover..

^this, actually may sumpong din yun radyo ko minsan. hihina,,,, lalakas/mas claro. experiment sana and i tried looking for a much longer or higher gain antenna yun screw type kaso wala ako makita na kasukat nung thread ng OEM ng hilux.
