In case you have been wondering if the MINI Sport Aerial Rod (Short Antenna) is worth its price...
I have been dating a lady who lives 75 miles away from me, for the last 6 months. When I had the long antenna my MINI came with, about 10 miles before getting there, I would start losing reception while listening to my favorite radio station, and once there, I could not listen to it, except for a few seconds here and there.
A couple of months ago, just a few days before Christmas, I decided to treat Schumi to a new one, since the one it came with was not looking the way it once did. I installed it, and it wasn't until a few days ago, while leaving her place one morning, I realized the type of reception I had. The same station. Crystal clear.
Dealers charge as much as $40 for one, but some of them prefer to sell more than not sell at all, I suppose, and they offer them on eBay for $26 or less.
I purchased mine from miniofmontgomerycounty, an eBay seller, and also a real MINI Dealer.
It's the little things in life that matter.
I hope this helps.
Are you sure its not your lady friend's MoJo thats making your reception crystal clear?????? She is trying to make sure that you are in tune with her. Its funny that you just wrote about this antenna today because I just received mine to replace the battered one on my Mini/ Part No. 65202296772 right
Noted that the newest stubby design, MINI had one that was a bit of an older stubby design and its the 105mm vs this is the 83mm. Yes i like the newer 83mm design a bit better.
Wow, stumbled on this at the perfect time. I sold my first item on eBay last week and today they sent me a $20 bonus coupon for doing that.After reading I went back to eBay and searched for the part number 65202296772. The first 2 were new for $26, but the third one was a used one for $20. Bingo! Free shorty antenna!
