It was about $120 for the new antenna and I have it mounted on a spring to protect it if it ever contacts a low ceiling in a parking garage. I decided to upgrade the antenna to the larger RV/Semi-truck unit that I bolted onto the rear of my spare tire carrier since it would fit better and also claims to extend the range. The Jeep’s roof is mostly fiberglass so I knew the small magnetic antenna wouldn’t cut it, and I installed new bumpers front and rear with multiple mounting points for accessories. When Fall came around, I sold my Lexus GX (I kept my weBoost from it) and I bought a new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe plugin hybrid. I originally wrote this and posted it on Twitter in the Summer of 2022.

My small weBoost antenna on the back of my SUV An update from six months later With the booster installed and operating, I was seeing a boost of 2 to 3 bars of coverage wherever I go, and music buffering has become a thing of the past.
Music streaming works flawlessly in every major city I travel to, but I live at the edge of the rural/suburban boundary, and things don’t always work great. I live in a city that despite having 1-3 bars of mobile network availability, frequently requires buffering on services like Apple Music and Spotify.

If you can fish wires under carpets and door trim pieces you’ll be fine, but if you want a super clean install with no exposed cables, hire a stereo shop pro to fully hide it.Īfter a couple weeks of testing, I was impressed. When it arrived, I put the small magnetic antenna at the rear end of the roof on my Lexus GX (per the instructions, it needs to be far away from your phone), and fished the wires inside to power it up and provide the small antenna near the dash to boost signals to nearby phones. I looked around and decided to pull the trigger on the weBoost Drive Reach, which is their most powerful option for cars, and it cost me around $390 (currently $500 on amazon, cheaper on the weBoost website direct). Every reviewer seemed pleasantly surprised by the additional bandwidth and coverage. After watching that video with its good results, I watched several more “real world” cell booster videos from RVers and off-roaders just to make sure the one video I liked wasn’t a secret paid post.
