Works well on FM, but no AM reception
I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I replaced the screen digitizer...(a common problem). Of course I had to remove the radio to do this. Some time later, after re-installing the radio, I noticed I had no FM/AM reception. ( I seldom listen to FM, usually Satellite radio, so didn't notice for months no FM). I removed radio and diagnosed a bad FACRA female connector on my antenna cable. I don't know how to fix a broken FAKRA connector, apparently you need a special crimpper and trimmer, so rather than replacing the wiring harness or trying to find a radio shop to get the connector repaired, I ordered this new small antenna. When I ordered it I also got a DIN to FAKRA adapter from BINGFU. SO here's the review: Easy to install and route wire invisibly. Placed antenna on windshield vertically on side and it's almost invisible. Reception on FM is very good. I live in a rural area which is relatively flat, and we have only three FM stations within 60 miles, so local reception is fine but nothing beyond that. And there is positively no AM reception. Frankly, I don't even know if we have an AM local station anymore nor do I care. So for me this antenna worked well and it solved my problem.. I would recommend it with the caveat that if you want AM reception forget it.

Doesn't work for AM.
It seems to work well for FM, but no AM reception at all.

Kinda works
Worked fine until I turned the headlights on, then I lost all signal and got static. I'll try and find a different ground for the lights, and move the antenna wire away from any other wires.

Tape sticks securely, radio is working better
Although some have suggested that the product seems cheap (what isn't these days), I found it to be reasonably solid. It came with an adapter that I didn't need but that too looked good. I installed this on my 1991 Electra Glide because the old radio wasn't picking up stations clearly, so I took a shot. The antenna has 3M tape that I used to attach to the inside of the fairing. It sticked well and seems like it will last. The radio is picking up stations more clearly now. For the price this was a good try and I'm happy with it.

False Advertising: There is No AM Reception
The description indicates "Working Frequency: FM 80MHz-108MHz, AM 520KHz-1710KHz; Gain:3dbi" and "assists to improve radio reception and receive crystal clear AM/FM." This is far from accurate. It seems to be well-made, but that is still yet to be seen.The antenna on my car (fully automatic power antenna) broke a few weeks ago. I want to replace it but they are expensive (for my car, around $100). So I thought I would try this less expensive alternative until such time I would get a power antenna.The FM reception seems to work fine, but there is no AM reception. When I touch the tip of antenna plug coming from my radio with my finger, I get AM reception, but when I plug in this antenna, I get no AM radio reception at all... no channels. I live in Los Angeles and there are plenty of strong AM radio stations. I tried several positions and locations on my car and nothing makes a difference.I would return it, but at least now I have FM radio reception, even though the vast majority of my radio listening experience is on AM radio.UPDATE (4/13/2024): The reception on FM is not good, in fact, it's almost like not having an antenna at all. The FM stations that were otherwise strong come it week and with static. With the antenna plugged in is like 10% better than with no antenna plugged in at all compared to the stock antenna in the car (which would be 100%).

Great antenna for classic cars
Great antenna for classic cars when you don't want to drill a hole in a fender. Fit great in my 1969 Firebird

Not as good as old stock antenna
Hoped to improve weak reception from 1st gen CRV. Results are poorer than I had.
