Head to Jaycar and get urself one of the many different types of car Ant's they carry, run some new line and connect the new Ant on the exterior of the car... Assuming your pic of the ute is your ride - maybe on the rear windscreen...I dont listen to the radio much, would much prefer something of my own choice when I want - CD or MP3... But this should get you out of trouble... all up prob cost you about... $50...
