Votex - Antenna Base fits GMC Sierra 1500-2500-3500 1999-2006 - Part Number 15829166

The Votex Antenna Base for the GMC Sierra models 1500, 2500, and 3500 (years 1999-2006) has garnered mixed reviews from customers who praise its fit and functionality, while also expressing frustration over installation difficulties. Many users report that the base fits their original radio perfectly and performs well, offering a reliable signal after installation. However, several customers indicate that replacing the antenna is not a straightforward process, often requiring disassembly of various truck components, which can lead to complications and damages, specifically to old dashboard panels. Some users noted that the threads on the new base are larger than the original, necessitating additional purchases for a new antenna mast and adapters, which adds unexpected costs and requires careful planning before installation. Despite the challenges associated with replacing the old unit, most customers express a willingness to recommend the product, citing its acceptable price point and good performance once installed. Overall, the Votex Antenna Base is seen as a viable solution with some caveats related to installation complexity, particularly for those unfamiliar with mechanical work on older vehicles. **
