I'm looking at few stubby antennas and wondering which one I should get. Are there certain ones where the reception is not good? I happen to be looking at one from Cravenspeed and another from JCS. These are the two that come up at top of Google search. Are there other brands you would recommend? Thanks.

 

WMW has one ... its the one i have and have never had a problem

Other companies selling shorty antenna are
Outmotoring
MiniMania
Helix (im pretty sure)

 

Bought the CravenSpeed stubby from Detroit Tuned, and it works fine.

 

I've read that the antennae is mostly for AM radio and that the FM radio antennae is in the rear side windows, so it shouldn't make any difference in your FM reception.

I read a post in which someone just put a stainless steel button Allen screw in the antennae base, he said it didn't affect his radio reception.

Me? I like a long antennae, I'd like to find one that I could bend over the front of the car and clip to the bumper!

Ours is .0005% better than any other brand!

 

I have an Alta Super Shorty and so far, everything sounds crystal clear.

The Super Shorty is the small one on the left (2").

 

PLEASE let me know how that works out for you!!! And.....provide pics. I gotta see that one!

 

....and ours is .00049% better (based on recent dyno testing):

Thanks all for the info.

 

MINI makes a short antenna now....thats what I have and I like it

 

Just get the one for a Honda S2000 - perfect fit and looks great . . like it was made for the Mini!

Like this one:

Thumper - MINI makes a short antenna now....thats what I have and I like it

Yea, like the new OEM one. 83mm




Looks good.

 

ooo....shiny

 

Oh let me throw mine in, as for the OEM antenna I've seen a couple already cracked so I avoid them.

 

I got the carbon fiber one from Outmotoring and so far so good, support your MINI vendors not to eBay :-)

 

THANK YOU, I hate to loose a sale to a competitor, but I rather keep it all in the MINI community rather than ebay, or a discount.com site.

 

I have the alta super short as well and nothing has changed reception wise

 

Way's logo is cooler. If replacing the whip antenna with a Craven shorty wasn't the first thing I did upon taking receipt of the car I'd get one.

I agree about buying from a MINI vendor.

 

I went with the Cravenspeed one from Amazon. It turns out I had some Amazon points so it ended up being free.

 

Oem stubby sucks.. Expensive and cracked in less than two months..

+1
The S2000 has much better reception than most other stubbies.
I have tried a couple, not all listed above, and the S2000 is much better.
