WV was the 1st company to use this technolgy

i would not use a FM booster, they cause issues too

Interesting, I'll have to watch for this when I install my HD radio as my 04 chrysler 300m has an "in glass" antenna in the rear window. Might you have a link or name of these adapters for aftermarket radio's, mitch? I'm looking to do as seemless and transparent install as possible. An aftermarket (antenna like that pictured above) stuck to the glass would kind of ruin that concept...........
