The AP40 is a multi-fit top and side mount spring ball base antenna from Aerpro with an adjustable split ball base for 25mm mounting holes and a spring base for overhead protection.

Product overview
The Aerpro AP40 is a universal aftermarket car antenna designed for vehicles requiring a top or side mount external antenna solution. The multi-fit design accommodates both top and side mounting positions, providing greater installation flexibility than a standard top-mount-only antenna. The adjustable split ball base fits a standard 25mm mounting hole and allows the antenna angle to be set to suit the vehicle's body panel angle at the mounting point.
The spring base allows the antenna to deflect on impact and return to its upright position, protecting the mast from damage when passing through overhead obstructions such as car wash brushes or low-clearance areas. The 3-section stainless steel mast extends to 100cm for AM/FM signal reception and can be collapsed for transport or storage. A 137cm cable is included for routing from the antenna base to the head unit antenna input inside the vehicle cabin. Cable connector type is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm the cable connector type before purchasing if compatibility with your head unit antenna input is a requirement.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the AP40 and the AP42B?
The AP40 is a multi-fit top and side mount antenna, accommodating both top and side mounting positions for greater installation flexibility. The AP42B is a standard ball base antenna designed for top mounting only. Both share the same 3-section stainless steel mast extending to 100cm and 137cm cable length. Contact us to confirm which suits your specific vehicle and mounting position before purchasing.
What size mounting hole does the AP40 require?
The AP40 fits a standard 25mm antenna mounting hole. The adjustable split ball base allows the antenna angle to be set to suit the body panel angle at the mounting point.
What does the spring base protect against?
The spring base allows the antenna mast to deflect when it contacts an overhead obstruction such as a car wash brush or low-clearance structure, and then return to its upright position, protecting the mast and mounting hardware from impact damage.
Can the mast be collapsed for transport or storage?
Yes. The 3-section stainless steel mast can be collapsed when not in use for transport, storage, or when passing through low-clearance areas where the extended mast height would be a concern.
What connector does the cable terminate in?
The cable connector type is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm the cable connector type before purchasing if compatibility with your specific head unit antenna input is a requirement.
