In a fibreglass car it is probably not neccessary to have a conventional aerial connected to the head unit. What are the alternatives?

what about a small bee-sting type aerial mounted under the scuttle/bonnet?

If your driving your car right, you wont be able to hear the radio !

and all that extra weight as well

I was wondering if an aerial needs a ground plane to work properly. If not I could put a length of wire into the glass fibre away from any chassis rails and connect to that.

Needs an earth. totest for a badly earth aerial touch it with your bare hands with the radio on, if the volume increases it has a bad earth

Hi

I've fitted an aerial to my Stylus, fixed to the rear wing, no earthing required and i get very good reception, bought it from maplins
