The Best Antenna

The stock one is ugly as sin. Which one is the smallest and works the best? Ideally I'd like it to not be there at all, but having a radio is nice.

Just cut the stock one.

Works just fine and I love mine.

If only I hadn't screwed up the radio antenna wire on the radio when I went to the AVIC...

I have the Ark one. I like it. They're all good options. Close your eyes and pick.

ark one is the smallest and best looking but also most expensive. mpx is probably best bang for the buck

I had the MPX on my 06 and had no problems, but I think I'm gonna go with the ARK when I purchase my next one

I think the ARK is slightly smaller that's why it's my next choice

If you want to save a little cash and still get a quality product then MPX is a damn good choice

::edit:: the ARK is 5" tall and the MPX is 4.5" tall

This will sound completely retarded, but it works. Buy an antenna cable for an Aveo. It'll plug right into the stock antenna cable once you unplug that from the stock antenna and you can completely shave the stocker off. Route the Aveo cable any way you want inside the trunk or up the pillars to the roof till you have good enough reception.

I took my MXP shorty off due to poor reception. Maybe if I get my satellite radio back on. I live in the suburbs though. When I drive in or around the city the receptions decent. I might try the ARK eventually.
