Look in the s-car-list archives from a few weeks ago for more info on that.

I think the real problem with the antenna is that it activates whenever the stereo is on, not just when the radio is selected. At least in my case that means that 99% of the time the antenna is up (and therefor getting dirty) it is not even being used.

when I got the car. I don't think a new mast is going to help ;-)

I do hate power antennas that run up and down every time you use the car. Or a wiring change for the oem type fender mounted antenna so it comes up only with radio use would be ok too. Just checking out options.

I ended up returning it to the guy and buying the OEM replacement mast. The link for the entire unit is below.

Looks like I better take a closer look at the antenna remains in the trunk.

Looks the way the factory should have made it, instead of 10 feet tall. ;-)
