Stereo & Electronics - Antenna Options

The whip antenna is not cutting it, i know that there are the electric ones but what other options do we have? Any pics or advice on this will help. Thanks

What do you mean the antenna is cutting it? Bad reception or you just dont like the looks? If its a looks problem Metra makes a replacement power antenna. I think for some reason they only make it for the Firebird but its the same mount for a Camaro.

I was just think it looks plain, the power antenna may be the way to go if i dont find anything else.

I bought mine from www.rksport.com but it's like $100. I also found a flexable antenna on Ebay for like $8, but obviously it's not for us power antenna guys. It's just has a bolt with threads on the end. Came with like 5 or 6 screws. Obviously a "one kit fits all" thing.....

Thanks

Did it fit well? Heard it's a witch to put in since it's like a universal kind of power antenna. Pics?

Did it fit well? Heard it's a witch to put in since it's like a universal kind of power antenna. Pics? It is a universal kit. But it was still pretty easy to install. No pics, sorry. It's been a while since I did it. Over 2 years. But I think you use the adapter with the most slant. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. And I think I had some problems figuring out which wire connect to what. I think I just guessed and got it right. There's only about 3 wires to choose from. If your just looking for a replacement antenna, get the stock one. It's only like $65 and, of course, it's a direct fit! :cheers:

Yea, getting conflicting reports though about it. blackcamaro.com has a section on installing the GM power antenna, but you still have to go and buy several parts from like Radio Shack, Home Depot(plumbing dept) and even though it a sweet setup, goes up ONLY when listening to radio, automatically goes down when listening to something else. Also, not as 'waterproof' as the RKSport one.

I have had no waterproof problems with my antenna. All it takes to keep your antenna from going up and down every time the radio comes on, is a simple toggle switch. Get em' for liek $3 from Rat Shack. Add $1 worth of wire and bingo..... if I had the choice to do it again..... I'd go with the GM.

Thank you for your insight
