antenna suggestion

My new H U doesn't have a power wire for the antenna motor so it stays up 24/7 while my car is on.

Got any reccomendations on brands of antennas? I hate the black bendable sport antennas.

Will in-car antennas from newer model nissans work?

The rising antenna is for AM, the back glass antenna pics up FM fine.

see i installed it myself and i know that i get better fm reception with the antenna up. I tried it for a day w/o the factory antenna and that blew.

The remote turn on wire is being used for my amp. Even if i tapped into that wire my antenna motor would be on when the H U is on.

I guess i'll just try one of those crappy looking windshield mounting antenna's like this.

unless anybody has any other ideas

im using one of them antennas that mount to the windshield and it works great doesn't look bad at all if you tuck it into the headliner well enough only reason i went with this is cause i shaved my rear antenna off and i did not like the look of a shark fin on my 4th gen imo.
