Stubby antenna for 2015 GT

Does anyone know if there is anyone who manufacturers a stubby antenna for a 2015 GT I had one for my 2011 GT and would like to add on to my new 2015 GT convertible.


Thanks.

FYI... the convertibles still have a standard antenna.

Well I'm sure it's better than what Ford has stock. My satellite radio on my 2016 coupe is always losing signal to the point that it's unlistenable

The stubby antenna would have nothing to do with SatRadio. It's for the AM/FM.

Yeah AM /FM signal is fine. Wherever the receiver for satilite signal is, it's not efficient that's for sure. I'll be on wide open areas with no trees and it will cut in and out. In same location with my Corvette and no issues.

I have been told there are differences between the Sirius and XM satellites. Ford uses the Sirius satellites which circle the earth. GM uses the XM satellites which are always in the same location. So there can differences in reception between the two.

That's right I forgot. When I bought my C6 new back in 2006 it was XM at the time. I just wish the issue would be corrected because I was planning on transferring my account from my corvette to the Mustang when my free six months runs out, but with the crummy signal I'm having second thoughts.

Odd, my factory SAT radio has no reception problems at all.

Northern Peninsula in the Bay Area. There should be issues unless your driving in canyons, tunnels or a road with tall tree lines.
