    Could just seal up the original hole and go this route.
    Suggestions on antenna removal / what to seal the original hole up with? I plan to eliminate my antenna. Removed AM/FM radio and just have Iphone now.

    Someone was selling these little stick antennas a long time ago. I replaced mine.



    I'm pretty sure I still have my original.

    Back when I had my Pioneer AVIC-N4 installed, I mounted the sat. antenna next to the the VX radio antenna and ran the wire through the base. I noticed during that time that my base was pretty dry-rotted. I removed it and coated it (thinly) with black RTV and after drying re-installed it. I haven't looked lately but I'm pretty sure it has held up over time.

    NOW I'm going to HAVE to LOOK....thanks alot guys...lol.

    Where can I get one? I have an 01 and I need a replacement. Does the stick do just as good as OEM? Does it fit correctly without any mods?

    Thanks

    These are actually pretty good. I have one for my VX and my STi. Granted, I don't use the radio at all (XM or my Zune) but they look good with their tiny profile.

    Saw this link from there and these are a tad cheaper.... and kinda coolor looking too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-3-Carb...67768968835518

    well, i bought one (the one dub posted a link to). I won't know how well it works after the paint job and stuff (maybe a month), but I'll post how well it does. I do listen to radio (NPR) sometimes instead of podcasts and mp3s. I'll post the results, but it's going to be a while...
