A:Answer First yes. This will work seeing that it has its own separate antenna. Secondly I would see about correcting the original issue. Usually located under the driver's side dash is a thick 1/4 " wire. It's very noticeable. I would trace that wire to either the antennas source or it's location. Often the antenna will regress back into the body of the car, an animal may get ahold of the wiring, or a simple loose connection. I would look into option 3 because your reception is intermittent.
