i dont use my radio so i took out the complete antenna mast/unit and put a curved plug in place.
solid mast antenna?
anybody ever replaced the power unit with a plain-old stick antenna? just the regular long skinny type? can this just be screwed in where the power antenna is now? you know, the kinda antenna you can stick an antenna ball on if ya want! thanks.
i’m gona b using a vw golf antenna to replace the rear squirter cuz i can also get a shorter antenna to replace the longer one
ITG2, if you look at this, did you ever do that? I want to replace my rear squirter with an antennae too, but just haven’t got around to it. I could really use a radio now.
caspergsr - that s2k antenna looks great. Was it easy to install? Just twist it in there? Did you hook it up to the oem antenna receiver lead?
just go to www.locustom.com and order ther s2000 look a like. alot cheaper. thinking of doing this or the home depot plug.
whats peoples feel about the locustoms antenna or the home depot plug…im trying to decide and that always take a long time so maybe some opinions would help…car color white and my wiper is shaved already. so just wondering if i should go with the whole clean look and use the plug or what?
It was pretty easy. I had to do some modifications to the inner base and sleeve. but other than it just screwed in. I did hook it up th the power antenna lead. Gets perfect reception.
i wana get this shark 2 thing. is it hard to install?
Mik2006: That is the antenna I used. I wouldnt say I was overly impressed with the reception, but I rarely listen to the radio anyways. For a standard installation you shouldnt have any problems. Mine is relocated to the roof, but this will give you an idea.
corben1111: I did that on my four door because the power antenna was broken. Its pretty much straight forward swaping the two. Mine leans somewhat away from the car. I plan to see if I can reseat it, but I haven’t had time to work on the car lately.
Shave it! People still use the radio? :gay:
I dont listen to the radio anymore. I just liked the look of that antenna, but dont worry its gone now.
