Power Antenna?

Anybody ever mounted a power antenna in a 2nd gen?

 

Not that I have heard, for what purpose?

 

Sorry, to replace the radio antenna mast on the fender. I'm thinking a dashboard switch so it would only be up when using the radio.

 

interesting idea. Curious how this turns out and if it can be done.

 

because ppl keep breaking mine off

 

If you have an aftermarket radio you could use the amp line (blue wire) to a relay that powers the antenna. The question is wether there is enough room in the fender for a motor assembly.

I never did do this, it's still on my list though.

 

What about now?

 

Meh, I prefer the flexibility of the OEM. Don't have the worry of having it snap off and possibly damaging the fender getting snag on a tree limb or such with a rigid power antenna. Becomes worthless and non functional if any part of it gets bent.

 

Nope, still procrastinating.

 

Mine snapped off at the base replaced with a stubby and noticed no change in reception
