Fixed antenna options.
My 4' power antenna gave up the ghost.
Whats the best short fixed flexible antenna option?
Aftermarket? Or one from another newer car? (ebay)
Read about a Mazda model being used.
Also don't want to spend a ton of $$$ as its a weekend / daily driver.
Looking for good reception and easy installation. .
Is there a go-to common option?
Thanks!

I just got a roof mount one from a 2005 LS430 and ordered the converter plug on eBay for $10. Waiting to get my car back from paint to test it out. My mast is broken so I retracted it all the way down and unplug the power harness. I should have had it filled when I took it in for paint.

We have had a lot of threads on this, including a huge one that i suspect is in the faq sticky on top of the forum, so you should have plenty of info and options if you take a look.

Thanks! Yes I have looked at them Several options have been used over the years.
Was just asking if there was a "best" way to go. After years of folks trying different ones.

If you don't want to fool with replacing the mast, don't throw it away! Offer it for sale in the classifieds.

Still asking, as a lot of the photos are gone now from the older antenna threads. (Photo bucket)
And several of the posts say " I went to a junk yard and got this one off a what ever car" Make model and year would be nice...
Have to think there is a year/ model car that works best. Just don't know what it is.
Also, several photos that I do see are at odd angles. Looking for one that looks right.
And functions. So maybe this could be the up dated antenna thread?

I think unless you pay photobucket now, photos do not show up at all. Mine dont anyway. I am using Chrome If that helps.
You do know they went to a paid subscription only to post a few months ago right? I am using Postimage.org these days....
