New aftermarket antenna

[ldsbeaker]

I know you didn't ask me, but I <3 the Z3 antenna and base. Not really THAT inexpensive, but it's plug and play with the right grommet, and looks good to me. You just have to remember to take it off before you go through the carwash.

Never have found one in the aftermarket world...you might have better luck.

I just cut and solder.

Luke,

For future reference. What do you recommend as a replacement antenna that is cheap, good looking and easy to install?

Which one did you buy?

One of those generic rubber antennas. I need it for now until I find something better.

So I removed the original antenna and installed an aftermarket unit. The new one comes with a bayonet plug but the cable in the car has a screw on type connector. Is there an adapter I can buy or should I cut the connector and somehow rewire the old cable to the bayonet.
