All,

Have any of ya'll used a smart antenna, the one that works off of magnetic' field associated with a conductor excited by a radio wave, as opposed of the typical antenna our trucks came with from the factory?

Do they work as well? Or not as well at all?

Thanks

Unless you have the cell phone or wifi setup in the truck I don't see any value. I think my HHR has some level of smart antenna as it has Onstar on it.

From there it will depend on the level of tech you have on the truck as I know a couple of the folks on here have pretty trick screen setups that do a lot of things.
