They got this from Lexus Japan. It is around USD 85.

 

I don't know about you, but I don't think I'll be drilling a hole in my roof and removing the headliner to wire that up anytime soon.

 

lol, same here...
that might be look cool.. but without the actual function,
ummummmm




nevertheless!! Nice find!!

 

To be frank, I won't drill any hole either. I will cut the line and stick it using 3M tape

Just look COOL

 

What's the purpose of this?

 

I second that. No holes on the roof. Cut the wiring and double sided tape will do. I'll wait 'til someone sells it here in US though. I'm sure LED tail lights/Shark fin and all the good stuff will come in later...

IS350 soon

 

Wait a second... are you people actually admitting that you're going to put this thing on the roof, knowing full well that it doesn't do ANYTHING? And you're actually going to pay money for it?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

Then what is the point if it's not actually functional?

 

It is a satellite antenna, my local performance & stereo shop by me sells them in various colors.

 

If you BOTHERED to read the WHOLE message. It said he would CUT THE LINE AND JUST STICK IT ON WITH 3M TAPE. Therefor making it NON-FUNCTIONAL.

 

Hmm....I don't get it either....

 

i hate shark fins. i would take it off if they come with my car. i just cant stand it.

but great find tho.

 

Everyone must be humor impaired today? When someone says something ridiculous, and then follows it with a big smilie (as eddiec did), I take it to mean that they are trying to be funny or are speaking tongue-in-cheek.

And while not applicable here, it is possible to design an antenna that doesn't need to be physically connected to its antenna wire, by using capacitive coupling. Glass mount antennas, such as those used for permanantly installed cell phones, work that way. You can even run a powered antenna without physically connecting any wires, by sending power through an inductive coupling, and RF through a capacitive coupling. I'm pretty sure this won't work though sheet metal though.

 

I remember someone posted how the satellite radio comapanys were going to focus more on producing them in factory instead of in dealer. Im going to wait till mabey next years model comes and then if they have them ask the dealer how much it would be for the install so its done right and theirs no warranty issues. Just my .02

 

If you bothered to read to the original post and look at the picture, it is functional as an antenna. Like I said earlier a shop where I live sells them in different colors. You should read first before you respond with such attitude. I will post pictures of them from the store just to show you that you do not know what you are talking about.
