Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior aftermarket power antenna...

anybody know a good place to buy one? the dealer wants my left nutt for it

ebay...you wont have to pay a left nutt

lol, i searched ebay and the ones that they sell only fit 6th gen celis

well, you could try getting it from a junkyard off a celica that was in a front end collision.

get an S2000 if you don't care too much about radio

Mine works perfect with an s2000 antenna.

Think about it: the s2000 antenna is an oem part from honda. It works fine on the honda, so why not on our cars?

Well I wasn't too sure if the reception was affected by replacing the stock one, I guess not

i dunno, but i like how the power antenna is sleek and almost hidden, and i wish there were 7th gen celis in our junkyars, i'd be all over them anyway thx, i'll still keep looking

did you try a google search for online junkyards?

I found one on ebay, it's only $38 shiiped, but my question is how easy is it to install?

maybe this might help

what does the S2000 have to do with your radio?

do you think that it affects reception or something?

I guess my car must be really special - because I pickup a station on each and every channel... heck, I even pickup college radio stations while being 100+ away from them.

ie; I'm in San Diego, but can still listen to Santa Monica college radio... or while being in Los Angeles or Valencia and the surrounding areas, I still pickup stations broadcasting from San Diego and polka stuff from the Mexican boarders.

A little FYI - your antenna already travels at least 14 foot before it even gets to the rear of your car removing 2 foot of antenna by replacing the stock with the S2000 really hasn't been proven to make a noticeable difference

I know what you're talking about

Anyway, I went ahead and bought, I know, I know, ebay is the devil, but $38 was a good deal. It should be here by Sat/Mon and I gotta figure out a way to install it w/o frying myself or the amp

Uhmm, well for starters, disconnect the battery before you do anything

If you remove the stock antennae, it goes out.

I TOUCHED a two inch screw to the hole, and it picked up reception.

EvanJ, how dumb do you think I am
