Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which antenna fits my vehicle?

Car antennas are often vehicle-specific due to differences in mounting points, connector types and mast lengths. The easiest way to find the right antenna is to search by your vehicle's make, model and year. Our range includes vehicle-specific options for most popular Australian makes, as well as universal antennas that suit a wide variety of vehicles.

What is the difference between a manual and automatic power antenna?

A manual antenna requires you to physically extend and retract the mast, while a fully automatic power antenna raises and lowers itself automatically when the radio is switched on or off. Automatic antennas provide a cleaner look and are less prone to accidental damage from forgetting to retract the mast.

What is a shark fin antenna and what does it do?

A shark fin antenna is a sleek, low-profile roof-mounted antenna that replaces the traditional whip-style mast. Many modern shark fin antennas are amplified, providing strong AM/FM reception while offering a more aerodynamic and stylish appearance. They're a popular upgrade for drivers who want a cleaner roofline.

Can I use a universal antenna if a vehicle-specific one isn't available for my car?

Yes — universal antennas are designed to fit a wide range of vehicles and mounting configurations. You may need an adaptor plug to match your vehicle's antenna connector, but our team can advise on compatibility and any additional parts required.

Does Frankies Auto Electrics stock marine and caravan antennas?

Yes — we stock a range of marine-grade and caravan AM/FM antennas, including fibreglass whip antennas and heavy-duty options designed to withstand outdoor and waterside conditions. Contact our NSW team for advice on the best antenna for your marine or caravan setup.
