I installed a hidden antenna and disconnected the OEM mast. It does not come up any more and the new antenna works great! Now I just need to shave it to be complete. Here is the how to on the install: ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

The antenna is definitely too long! I'm also curious as to how the reception would be when the antenna is down. How would one go about disabling the antenna from automatically rising when you turn on the radio?

reception is terrible. but you no longer look like an rc car driving around. i simply unplugged my antenna and now use a universal window antenna but its under my seat and works just as well. i get awesome reception with it
