2001 Monte SS
the antenna that is mounted on the rear window what's it for.
If it's for Onstar then where is the one for the stereo?

 

The thin antenna that sticks out of the window is the Onstar. The radio antenna is built into the glass. The hockey puck on the roof is for XM radio.

 

yeah that glass antenna sucks though

My monte gets like crap radio in the mountains.

 

The rear window antenna is PO-thetic! It comprises the vertical bars in the rear window defroster. A fraction of what a good antenna should be in length.

 

An alternative is to drill a hole in one of your fenders and mounting a mast antenna yourself. But IMO, that looks like crap. And they get bent or broken in a carwash.

I would love to use my MP3 player in the car, but my 2004 doesn't provide for that. Requires an aftermarket stereo or some major surgery to the wiring of my stock stereo system.

BTW... I have tried the wireless MP3 adapter that uses a "dead" frequency on your car radio. Sound quality sucked, so I brought it back the same day.

 

I hear ya there, that's one of the reasons I got my DVD player with ipod connection. But just like TAZ said it is friggin expensive.
