[0002] The main function of a car rearview mirror is to provide a reflector for the driver's rear view. However, as cars are becoming more and more intelligent in design, antennas are generally installed in car rearview mirrors to improve the car's signal reception, safety assistance or smart connectivity functions.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with application number CN202322452882.2 discloses a hidden rearview mirror antenna, including a rearview mirror body, an antenna body connected to the rear side of the rearview mirror body, a connecting component installed at the connection between the antenna body and the rearview mirror body, a spherical hinge seat installed on the lower side of the antenna body, and a hidden seat provided at the upper end of the spherical hinge seat. By setting a hidden seat, a plastic sleeve, a through hole and a rubber ring, the antenna body passes through the hidden seat and is connected to the internal circuit of the car.

[0004] However, the structural design of the above hidden rearview mirror antenna has the following problems during use:

[0005] The antenna body of the hidden rearview mirror antenna is connected to the internal circuit of the car through the hidden part. However, due to the complex structure of the connecting components, the antenna body cannot be installed inside the rearview mirror. In addition, for rearview mirrors with internal curved surfaces, such as the rearview mirrors on both sides of the car, the installation of the antenna body is more difficult, which is not conducive to the compact design of the rearview mirror structure.
