2019 UPDATE: So it's been two years, and the antenna is still just as stuck on as it was on day one! No, I didn't expect this to last this long but I was pleasantly surprised. The radio (along with digital / DAB) still works perfectly fine. Hope this helps anyone watching this video now! And if you want, subscribe or check out my other videos :) See ya

Hi. I just can not understand one thing! I've watched a whole bunch of these shark Antenna videos and every single person does the same thing installs the antenna and then test the radio?????? WHY??? just screw in the antenna test the radio before removing the 3m tape and if all ok then go a head and stick in down, this way if by any chance something is wrong with the antenna you do not have to worry about getting it off when stuck down. just my way of doing things..

I recently installed one from ebay like this one onto a 2008 Honda Cr-v USA market. it was tricky i had to peel down the headliner, loosen the nut to the existing base , connected the wire then installed it carefully with the base inside it slid it around so its under the base then tightened the nut to the base i did not use the supplied tape i used sealant. and i sprayed the antenna element with wd40 to assure long life. here in the northeast use so it can survive the extreme cold temps, snow, and summer heat. as the shark fin installations are best suited for vehicles with a rear hatch, or tailgate depending which shark fin you get. as some bases it has to be loosened and lifted before the shark fin can be installed. as you have to get the right shark fin depending on some vehicles and how big the antenna base is. which can combine satellite radio or navigation.

Hi Mitch. From the other side of the Pond - Vince Smith from Dumfries, Scotland. I appreciated your video. However, I had to find out the hard way, that if you have a car (in my case a 2010 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso VTR) - that has a longer base than other cars, you have to break out the white crescent part at the front of of the shark fin case, because otherwise it will not be able to fit over the base,=. The original cavity is too short for these longer bases. I don't remember you mentioning this possibility, but I worked it out after some trial and error. Ta just the same. Vince
