Why doesn't the Civic have a shark fin antenna?
1 Answers
The Civic doesn't have a shark fin antenna due to national policy considerations. Shark fin antenna: It serves as the satellite antenna for XM radio. The domestic version removes this feature (primarily because of national policy issues, as this streaming media channel isn't available in China), hence the shark fin antenna is omitted. If you purely want it for decoration, you can purchase one on Taobao. Disadvantages of shark fin antennas: Installing a shark fin antenna won't cause any harm to the vehicle. Essentially, it's just an antenna with no negative effects. However, the main drawback of shark fin antennas is that their signal reception capability is slightly weaker compared to other extendable antennas. Therefore, if owners wish to install one, they can do so with confidence. It also offers some aesthetic appeal to the vehicle's appearance.
