Will this antenna fit a RX330? I never cared for the black OEM

As Talwang reminded me, the pictured antenna only works with SC430s outfitted with the Lexus Link option. If your SC430's Lexus Link was removed (like mine was), this particular antenna will no longer work.

Bumping an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has actually replaced the stock SC430 antenna with the S2000 or 350Z? If so, was it a direct fit? Any pics or comments about the swap? I know it sounds picky, but the antenna up/down noise is driving me absolutely crazy when I change stations. I've read I could just unplug the motor but I'd still like to get good reception.

I'm considering buying this S2000 one on ebay. : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GENUI...ht_6219wt_1084

I would suspect the chances of the decorative nut angle as well as the diameter antenna body matching the existing Lexus sheet metal and mount to be pretty slim. But that's a pessimist's view.

yea, it's not likely to fit exactly but I got the idea for this antenna from another thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...e-antenna.html . I just don't know if it will fit or not, the thread had an open ending...
