I was at Circuit City & they have a hidden antenna that will plug in where the standard retractable one does. You just have to figure out which wire is hot when the radio is on to power it. Should be a lot easier than diving under the dash to plug into the head unit

if youre getting rid of the pwr antenna can I buy it from you?
BTW, Ive seen some "antennas" that are thin film that you can stick on the back window. I dont know how they hook up though.

The hidden antenna I was talking is designed to be put under the dash as it is a universal fit. But since it is easier to install at the existing antenna location that where I put it. Yes you do have the the hole to deal with. but is a black rubber plug any ugiler that the stock antenna stub till you get the car painted & the hole filled? I don't think so, but then again my TA is black. It's an amphlifed antenna & can be attached to any clean/dry surface with double stick tape. If I remember correctlt it's about 3/4" square & 4-6" long.
