There are a few of you that shaved the antenna and rewired it to the top of the car (volkswagon style). How is the reception and was there a writeup lying around here?

 

:+1 I'm interested in this also...

i wanna know 2. my antenna motor is dying some one who has done this please tell.

 

ditto here. my antenna just snapped; i have a replacement mast but i've been lazy about installing it - all i can do now is listen to my cd's!

 

I'd like to know also. I've been thinking about that alot lately.

 

what I wanna know is can you get one of those small antennas like sat. radio uses and hook your radio up to it, i'd love to ditch the mast antenna and smooth out that area, looks unbalanced to me.

 

I did this....I got the fuba antenna off ebay...it looks nice but the reception sux. I had a piece of metal welded over the stock antenna spot. Then had a hole drilled in the roof for the new antenna, then I ran the antenna wire from the deck around the passenger side floor all the way to the pillar all the way in the back (between rear window and rear windshield), then into the head liner. I am happy with it just because of the look.

 

yea i was thinkgin about this too. cause im going to be gtting XM soon and wanted to eliminate teh stock antena cause its sutpid and hits things .. hehee..

so i wanted to get one like the acura one with the hump and a little stick part that sticks up in the end.. .. i mean i dont know how ..
cause is there any frequency diff.. etc to be conerened about..

 

You have any pics?

 

yeah look at my homepage....I have more updated pics but I have not updated my cardomain in about a year. I see you are local to me...I will be at most of the local meets so you can see it there if you want to.
