Antenna Delete Mod

[BigBlueLB756]

It's a combination of antenna from the source I listed above and a bottom mount from these guys:

I just didn't like the way that antenna looked, so I combined the two. Thanks.

hello all

 

I know this is an old thread however does anyone know what material the corner piece is made of. I know plastic but what kind of plastic?

I'd assume abs, why?

[mike63078]

looking at some plastic repair/building material to fill the hole, sand and retrxture the material and it cant be

• Polyethylene (PE)
  
• Polypropylene (PP)
  
• Thermo Plastic Olefin (TPO)
  
• Thermo Elastic Olefin (TEO)
  

Any thoughts

so does this mean I can just unscrew my antenna and call it good? why are people putting these horizontally in their engine bays?

To maintain FM reception. AM is gonna be hosed though because it requires a vertical antenna.

That looks good. Where did you get the plug?

Oreilly's or any auto shop would carry these...

laying around in the toolbox somewhere. but im sure i got it from napa

 

like chupe442 said pretty much any automotive store would have these

 

the shorter the lenght is the better. but you can always trim the length too.

any longer than 1/4 inch and it hits the antenna mount stud (it is siliconed on the backside to hold it in anyways)

You can have a vertical antenna if you just drop the antenna straight down next to its three cornered attachment. a short piece of hardware store hole strap cut to fit will hold antenna upside down quite nicely; same hardware as in original post, just not with wire and connectors.

Definitely going to do this mod. I almost always listen to XM anyway.
