i heard the s2000 antenna doesnt work well with our teg radios. I have pulled off the back interior panel before but have no idea about the antenna. I am sure i can figure it out but if anyone has any diagrams or anything that could be helpful

I did this to every Integra I've own. i hate hearing the buzzing noise when it get stuck going up and down or when it even works normal. just shove it all the way down. and take the panel off the inside and disconect the power wire. Reception isnt much different without it being up.

lol. My antenna's up as I type this.

I had plans to get an S2000 antenna after I got it painted....but now I don't think I'll ever get it painted. F the paint. I just want it to get me from place to place.
