AM reception help!!!!!!!!

[stebbs919]

Hey everyone, i'm new to this site and figured someone here could help me out. I have a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon, and just recently got my windows tinted. The issue I'm having is that my rear window has the antenna in it and now I get no reception at all for AM stations. FM is fine though. I have an aftermarket head unit with a plug in the back labeled ANT. I'm sure I could get an antenna to run but I don't want anything big, maybe something like my satillite radio antenna that is a little box. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanx alot guys!!

I knew that, and wasn't thinking when I got it done. I'm not an audio guy at all, so the thought never crossed my mind!! Can a run another antenna

You could, but it would look pretty tacky. Definitely wouldn't fit with the looks of your car.

You could re-tint your rear windows with nonmetallic tint.

where can i get a very small antenna that would just sit on the front dash?

I don't know of any; your best bet is probably to search around the internet and see if there is one.
