I’ve had great luck with hidden antennas mounted under the bumper. It requires some careful measuring, but the reception is solid. Just make sure to weatherproof the connections!
That’s awesome to hear! What tools did you use for the installation? I’m considering under-chassis placement as well.
You might want to look at signal boosters if you’re going for a hidden setup. They really help, especially if you choose to place it in less-traditional spots.
Great point! I hadn’t even thought about that. Any recommendations on specific boosters?

When I tried to hide my antenna behind the rear view mirror, it impacted my reception significantly. Lesson learned: test placement before finalizing!
Ouch! That sounds frustrating. Were there any particular tools that made the wiring easier?
I used a wire stripper and a precision screwdriver; they made a huge difference in my experience. Sometimes, it’s the little tools that save you time!
I’ll definitely grab a precision screwdriver then! Did you face any obstacles during installation?

One challenge was routing the wires without pinching them. I had to redo some sections until I found a good path. Patience is key!
Good advice! I can already envision my struggles. Any tips on securing the antenna once installed?
Using zip ties or double-sided tape can secure your antenna neatly. Just ensure they’re weather-resistant if you’re outdoors!
Thanks, Joel! Are there any hidden antenna models you personally recommend for a Chevy?
I’ve had a good experience with the MetroVac antenna. Install was pretty straightforward and I’ve had decent reception!
Was it easy to hide? Sometimes, the aesthetic matters just as much as the performance!
Absolutely! It’s small and easy to tuck away. Plus, the installation handbook was really helpful, way better than I expected!
I’ve been researching hidden antennas for my Chevy and found the Twelve South AirFly 2 to be a great option. It’s compact and offers good reception without the bulk.
That’s interesting! I’ve heard the Stinger Antenna is also popular. It’s durable and specifically designed for vehicles. Anyone tried it?
The Stinger Antenna is solid! I’ve had mine for over a year with no issues. Price-wise it’s mid-range, usually around $25-$30. It’s worth every penny!

Did you notice any difference in reception compared to standard antennas?

Definitely! The reception is much clearer and stable. I would say it’s quite durable too, especially if you’re in a rough climate.
