    This is an ebony from Idaho I saw in Phoenix AZ during a spring training game. Don't know if it is someone on here, VIN 0392. Could just seal up the original hole and go this route.

    Haha! That looks like one of those Chinese air bags - you know - the feather-filled ones you can buy at Walmart in the linen section - you just throw 'em on the dash right before you crash! I bet the owner had to relocate the antenna because of frequent roof top carrier use. Check the reflection on the windshield. Either that or there is a UFO hovering over this VX....

    I used to sell replacement antennas but I ran out and the manufacturer is not making them anymore

    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
