Antenna Options
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 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.....

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

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.
