- Visible part of your vehicle’s antenna
- Collects radio waves
- Replace when missing or broken
With aux cords, CDs, and BlueTooth, it’s easy to take your Nissan’s radio for granted. When you do want to listen to your favorite local station, there’s nothing worse than turning over to the radio only to hear nothing but static. Bad radio reception could suggest there’s an issue with your Radio Antenna Mast.
The Radio Antenna Mast is part of your antenna system, and you can see it extending up from your vehicle. This mast is tasked with collecting radio signals, allowing you to tune into your favorite DJs and talk shows. Because this part of your antenna system is so exposed, it's extremely vulnerable to damage. It can break, bend, corrode, and even be stolen!
A broken Radio Antenna Mast can cause your radio reception to be staticky and inconsistent. Other damaged radio components can mess with the signal, so you should take a look at your Radio Antenna Mast to ensure it's the source of the problem. If your mast is damaged or missing, you'll need a replacement.
You can find countless aftermarket antenna masts that claim to be universal, but they could require an adapter, which is another part you have to order and install. Shopping OEM parts is a great way to find a replacement Nissan Radio Antenna Mast custom-made for your vehicle.
The Radio Antenna Mast, part 282159B000, fits Nissan Altima 1993-2000. See the What This Fits tab for more info.
