I purchased this item in Aug 2013 and I am now installing it on my 1965 Mustang coupe. The antenna cable isn't long enought to reach the radio

Go to www.xm-radio-satellite.com and purchase a Sirius XM Radio Universal Antenna Extension. They have several different lengths.

Bills, Unfortunately I do not know of any extensions for Sirius/ XM car antennas. They make them for the home antennas but those will not work with the car antennas. I would contact the seller of this item and see if they know of a fix.

Did u hook up the antenna?There is an adapter u have to buy... or if u have xm radio u have to get the proper wiring kit.Best Buy was a big help in getting me the right one

If you don't have that feature on your radio then just tape off the end so it doesn't short out on anything. Double check your wiring to make sure you didn't hook something else up to it, it seems odd that your radio head wouldn't have an option for it.

Then don't by aftermarket. Buy "OEM" parts which means Original Equipment Manufacturer. I can't be sure what will or will not work for your car. What works for mine, may not work for you. OEM parts however are not aftermarket. They came from the same place your original antenna did, which should be a better fit for you. I hope this helps.

I had a similar problem, but the "worm gear" solved one part of my concern, although my dials aren't working like they should (instead of going back and forth smoothly, they tend to go in "chunks."). Anyway, the people at the Ford Dealership told me that I'd been a new instrument panel, as some of the electric connections weren't making connection. My car is a '98, so I really don't want to sink a lot into it. Unless you know someone who is extremely knowledgeable about this, you way want to see what a reputable Ford dealership has to offer. Also, you may wish to subscribe to a "Ford Mustang Online Forum." Best wishes and hope this helps a little.

It does not look like it. Your car is old enough that it still has the standard antenna jack. Here is a web site that you can check any car or truck. I got it off the isimple solutions web site. http://www.tss-radio.com/installation-accessories/vehicle-installation-accessories/fm-antenna-adapters.html

Hi RAS: It's been over a year since I installed mine, but I vaguely remember a similar concern. As I remember, I also expected a tight fit like a sleeve over the antenna fitting, but then I realized that the U-bolts are what really holds the two parts together (via the bracket, which is firmly attached to the antenna). Just don't overtighten them (you'll start to see the pipe collapsing).

Hello, Yes, if it says it will fit. I have a 2013 mustang v6 with base radio and bought the pioneer DVD double din HD radio with iPhone, Bluetooth, and Nav, Pandora, etc. to go ...looks greats and sounds ok but stock speakers need to be replaced. I installed everything myself...it was easy breezy! Also, they have a newer version of this kit with touch screen and the screen locked up a week after installed so I sent it back and bought this one. It's been installed for over a year and no problems.

I didn't have any kind of problems. I suggest you check the installation again, step by step. If you still has the problem then get longer screws or return the antenna for exchange.

Look for the plug on the passenger side by the firewall/fender. The plug isn't very long, it is possible that the wires are wrapped around other wires. Good luck.

An update to an earlier answer. It fit just fine and no problems on the installation but its almost a year now and seems that the antenna makes a lot of noise on the last part of going up or down, almost like its binding up. I will check this weekend to see if somehow it got bent or twisted, otherwise no issues on the fit.

Its new with cables..BUT you might not need it. Call your radio manufacturer cause alot of the new aftermarket radios use part sxv100 or 200 its the interface and tuner in one.

The best I can say is go to "Your Account" and at the bottom find returns and replacements. You might want to check the fuse either in-line or in the plug adapter. These can be fickle and blow out, also make sure power outlet has power and the antenna is mounted properly with good cable.

I only needed it for an extension, the oem antenna cable on my Chevy Silverado was very very short. Check yours maby it has more lead. For a couple bucks its worth it.

You shouldn't have a problem , unless it's a van or something like that. The cables have a disconnect about a foot from the radio and 2 fuses at the connect end. Hope this helps, good luck!

I have the SAME issue, 3 cables coming out of the dash w/the same antenna on the window. My car is a 2007 and it's been there since I bought it in 2008. So not sure if it'll work w/the newer models. But wonder if it will w/older ones? Let me know if you find out! Thanks! (vice versa!)

The antenna issue is explained here...and can be repaired for far less than the factory quoted price:http://www.sharc.net/gps_antenna_repair.htm- Jim
