replacement Satellite radio antenna for MyGig
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've got poor reception on the OEM sat antenna due to my Gobi Rack.

I've searched and read and thought I bought the correct replacement antenna; however, when I pulled my radio today to plug it in, it wouldn't fit the plug in the back of MyGig. This is what I got:
Attachment 224389

Does anyone know what type of satellite antenna I can get that will fit the MyGig plug?

Thanks!!

Just For Jeeps dot Com sells all sorts of goodies for the MyGig radios.

Thanks, I went to that site and you're right, they do sell a number of MyGig items. The antenna they sell is the one that comes with the MyGig from the factory, $79! It will plug in to the MyGig for sure but it is pricey and I don't think it is meant to be mounted exterior...I could be wrong on that. I was looking for the small, magnatized ones that are meant to be exterior mounted.

I just installed a mygig and used my existing sirius 'dot' antennae that was already run for my old sirius radio. works perfect and from what I've read here, better reception (less cutouts) than the factory one. They are readily available on amazon or walmart for $20.

Did the back of your MyGig not have a plastic adapter for the regular antenna and satellite antenna? Mine does and a regular satellite antenna won't fit. I wonder if that plastic adapter comes out?
