You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile

antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger,

a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them

is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none

of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite

radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.

Will system boot up normally to operating system level if CMOS battery is dead?

CMOS holds many of the boot parameters, such as what type and size of hard disk, the type and speed of the processor and other critical information. Many times the computer can still boot with a dead CMOS battery, but the information will not be available and will affect the process. Replace the battery then run through the setup procedure to save the values.

How do you replace a 1996 infiniti g20 antenna mast?

Buy the replacement antenna from Infiniti if you can afford their inflated price, and follow the directions, it's not that hard. Essentially you undo the ring nut where the antenna goes into the car, turn the radio on so the antenna rises, and it will shove it out of the shaft, along with the ribbed nylon strip that shoves the antenna up and down. To put in the new one, simply thread the nylon strip in the same way the old one came out and have someone turn off the radio. Feed the antenna back in, and put the nut back on. Good Luck!


My Subaru Forrester radio was fine then made a static noise. No sound played on the left rear and left front speakers. Right front and right rear play at a whisper. Start car hear static. Any ideas?

Do you only have a radio, or do you have a tape or CD player. If you have one of them, do they work OK? IF so, then you have an antenna problem. Try loosening and cleaning the antenna socket ( if it is a regular stalk antenna). IF it is an "in-glass" antenna, you can try to tighten the connection at the radio (hard to get at) and also check to see if there is a break in the wire in the glass or when it leaves the glass to go to the radio.


How do replace the antenna on a 2000 mercury cougar?

If you are asking about replacing the exterior antenna on the cougar, than just twist it counter clockwise to unscrew it. I am not sure what size thread the antenna has on it, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out, and most replacement antennas come with a few different bolts to use.


On your 1998 montero sport you replaced the power ant all wiring is correct and the cable is plugged into the stereo but no FM signal do have AM tho anyone got an idea?

Try this... tune in a weak AM station. Have someone "short out" the antenna by touching it while laying a hand on the bodywork sheetmetal. If the station goes away (or "dims out" significantly) then the antenna is good and your radio is likely at fault. If, however, there is NO change when they touch or release the antenna staff then you do NOT have a good/proper antenna connection to the radio (most likely) or the antenna housing. Verify connection to both ends of the antenna cable . Note, you may have to push the antenna WAY into the radio to get it to connect, make shure it cannot be pushed in any farther no matter how hard you try! good luck!


Where is the antenna connection on the factory radio on a 1997 Sable GS?

The 1999 and newer Ford / Mercury sedans use a Audio Processor, which is located in the trunk, on the right hand side. My wife has a 2000 Taurus and we found this out the hard way, when her radio stopped picking up radio channels.

Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?

No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging


How do you get on the other right antenna on spy island?

Use your grapling bow tie. It is very hard, but if you keep tring it will lead you to the green house


Are you able to install a 2005 Bose 6 CD changer radio into a 2003 Chevy silverado?

Yes you can install this CD changer into a 2003 Silverado. It shouldn't be too hard to remove the standard radio and replace it with this.

Can you replace stock radio in 2003 gmc sierra?

I replaced the stock radio in my 04 with another stock radio. I'm not sure about the 03, but my 04 has the "anti-theft" system on it...or whatever they call it. I bought a stock radio from a salvage yard and swapped it out. But I had to take it to the dealership and pay them $40 to hook up their computer to it and program the "anti-theft" code into the new radio. The radio isn't hard to swap out, pop the plastic trim unit off the front and four screws ( or 8mm bolts...can't remember which right now) and the radio slides out. Just unplug the power cable and antenna and plug them into the new ones. If you go in with an aftermarket, head to a car stereo shop or Best Buy and buy the plug that fits from the aftermarket radio to GMC. It saves from needing to do any rewiring.
