i really doubt that'll work at all.

i bought this and it wasn't worth a poop: http://www.ecshylites.com/page/page/761353.htm

i now have this in my car: http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd105.htm. it works better but it's still not listen-able. and thats with that antenna and the factory glass antenna combined with a y-cable to my headunit.

haven't tried to hide a whip antenna in the fenderwell or something yet, but doubt that'll work too well. i'm just about to go with sat radio this spring.

I don't know much on this topic, but any inline booster that doesn't replace your stock antenna doesn't make much sense to me. It's not going to boost your reception, it's just going to amplify the signal you already get. So your bad reception will still be bad, it'll just get louder...
