Antenas para Ford Mustang

Ford Mustang Antennas

Keep your Ford Mustang convertible well-connected with the antenna system of your choice. Antennas provide you with access to satellite, land-based, and cellular networks. Whether you need connectivity at work or at play, you can count on maintaining contact with the right antenna system components.

What are the Ford Mustang GT antenna types?

While many antenna options exist, they all aim to do the same things, namely provide you with clear reception of radio signals. You should note that some designs also include antennas in inconspicuous places, like in fenders or in windshields.

  • Satellite - Satellite radio antennas enable your receiver to pick up radio transmissions from orbital broadcast stations.
  • GPS capable - GPS designs keep your connected to GPS/GLOSNASS networks, allowing you and others to pinpoint your location whenever necessary.
  • Earth-bound radio - These antennas work with common AM/FM radio signals.
  • Cellular - Cellular networks offer radio, telephone, and data access. Cellular antennas give you access to the wide world of information as well as entertainment.
How can you recognize common Mustang antenna issues?

While most antenna designs make durability a priority, vehicle wear and tear inevitably requires you to repair or upgrade them. You can stay ahead of the curve by inspecting your Ford Mustang GT antenna system components every once in a while.

  • If you have a motorized whip antenna and it begins sticking in place, chances are the actuation motor is broken.
  • Metal antennas may be susceptible to corrosion damage, so if you notice significant amounts of rust on the base, tower, or wiring, it may be time for new equipment.
  • Poor reception results from more than just distance from radio sources. If your system experiences ongoing reception issues, faulty connections may be the culprits.
  • Broken wires have no way to transmit electrical or radio signals. If your GT radio system goes completely dead, begin your investigation with a wiring check.
Will you need ground plates for the antenna on your Shelby GT?

Whip antennas are perhaps the most common kind of car antenna, and they offer many perks. You can mount them in various locations, they have omnidirectional capabilities, and they can pick up radio transmissions across a range of frequencies. That said, in order to work properly, many whip antennas require contact with base metal ground plates. While you can get around this issue with modular bases, most ground plane independent antennas need no such foundations. Thus, you can mount them in more locations on your Mustang and potentially receive better reception as a result.

How can diversity-capable antennas improve your radio reception?

If you live in a city with many tall buildings, you may notice occasional dips in reception quality. This is partly because large objects reflect, deflect, and otherwise weaken a wide range of radio transmissions. Diversity-capable antennas solve this issue by putting multiple antennas on the same vehicle. This strategy allows the diversity-capable systems to pick up radio transmissions arriving from different directions, thus improving signal quality. Certain models include diversity-capable software and hardware in the same casing.
