Who got power antennas here and how hard was it to install? Being that some idiot on a crotch rocket just nailed me and took my antenna off I might as well go with a power one now.

 

I wouldn't put a power antenna into a car. It's a pain, and they will break. I believe the replacement assembly is like $80-$100 bucks depending on where you get ripped off. My power antenna lasted to 50k miles and stopped working. I just left the antenna in the up position and said to heck with it. I also unplugged the motor cause it's noisy.

 

I would do the same thing as you... How hard can they possibly be to install? You have easy access to the housing area due to the spare tire well.

Maybe you should ask in the Custom Car Audio and Electronics section...

 

Do the LS1's come stock with power antennas???

 

I think only the TA's come with it.

They get all the cool stuff

 

PIECE OF CAKE DUDE... Got one for my SS off ebay that came off an 02 WS6 for like $18 and it was three wires and looks clean as $hit now

 

SAWEEET! So they do come stock on the newer cars?

 

Check in the spare tire area, where the antenna coax is, and see if you see a plug for the power antenna. If it's there, all you gotta do is plug and play. I replaced the one on my Formula, and it was about $80 from Dal. This is the genuine GM antenna, not an aftermarket.

 

I installed one in my car that I got used from someone here for $50. It was pretty easy to install but it wasn't exactly "plug and play" if your car had a fixed antena like mine. The only hard part is you have to run a wire up to the radio and install a new "pin" for it in the plug to the back of the radio. There is a guide on here I found in a search that detailed the instal pretty well.

 

I have one on my car and I do like the clean look of it. I didn't do the install though, but most stereos have a Power Antenna wire, most aftermarket that is.

 

The blue wire to be exact.

 

Yea they come on the newer trans-ams etc

 

So I can lets say...just buy one from a dealer for a 02 SS or whatever they came on and it should be fine with my 97z? How much they run anyway??

 

No they don't come on the camaro's.. Only the TA's etc
