2019 UPDATE: So it's been two years, and the antenna is still just as stuck on as it was on day one! No, I didn't expect this to last this long but I was pleasantly surprised. The radio (along with digital / DAB) still works perfectly fine. Hope this helps anyone watching this video now! And if you want, subscribe or check out my other videos :) See ya

I recently installed one from ebay like this one onto a 2008 Honda Cr-v USA market. it was tricky i had to peel down the headliner, loosen the nut to the existing base , connected the wire then installed it carefully with the base inside it slid it around so its under the base then tightened the nut to the base i did not use the supplied tape i used sealant. and i sprayed the antenna element with wd40 to assure long life. here in the northeast use so it can survive the extreme cold temps, snow, and summer heat. as the shark fin installations are best suited for vehicles with a rear hatch, or tailgate depending which shark fin you get. as some bases it has to be loosened and lifted before the shark fin can be installed. as you have to get the right shark fin depending on some vehicles and how big the antenna base is. which can combine satellite radio or navigation.

The adhesive tape is not 3M, it's "M33", which is a cheap Chinese brand (convenient how the chose the number "3" & letter "M" for their product). Anyway, I don't expect it will adhere very long especially in the heat & humidity of northern NT, but good luck!

Anybody who has ever installed anything with 3M tape knows it aint coming off!! No hair dryer needed!! I will say I don't understand why you wouldn't screw the antenna on 1st and test it. I would even drive around and test before I permanently stuck it on because once you stick that badboy on that's it.

Hi Mitch. From the other side of the Pond - Vince Smith from Dumfries, Scotland. I appreciated your video. However, I had to find out the hard way, that if you have a car (in my case a 2010 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso VTR) - that has a longer base than other cars, you have to break out the white crescent part at the front of of the shark fin case, because otherwise it will not be able to fit over the base,=. The original cavity is too short for these longer bases. I don't remember you mentioning this possibility, but I worked it out after some trial and error. Ta just the same. Vince
