ok, so its not as cool as the topic suggests, but my antenna is forever in the "up" position, is this a hard fix? or would it be worth it to either A:leave it be, B: buy one of those stub black plastic antenna's at Autozone, or C: completely replace the whole thing with a new one from Autozone. Much appreciated

 

You can buy a new mast for about $30. It takes about an hour to install.

 

what would you do? thanks alot for helping. much appreciated.

I'd first check the wiring to make sure it's not a simple issue, and if not, then install a replacement antenna from Acura.

 

shove it down

Good call. OP, doe the antenna motor make noise when you turn on the radio?

 

like what kind of sound? like the radio works, and works well. Just i think either a fuse is blown (cant check it right now for unforseen reasons) or the motor is out. But i dont think any noise is coming from it.

You would here the motor for the antenna whirring.

 

no i think a fuse blew.. but if it isn't ill probably go to Acura and get a new one

 

I personally hate the DC antennas. It sticks up like 6ft high

 

theres a thread on teamintegra for putting in an s2000 antenna and it looks pretty clean

not as bad as the new jaguar xk antennas. could broadcast a whole tv show from that ****.

 

hey anyone got a pic of the s2k antenna?

 

 

change the mast, it should only take you less than 30 mins if its a DB and about an hour if its a DC. Reason being is that the DC, you'll need to pull out the whole plastic panel on the driver side. The DB all you need to do is pull the carpet back. I did it on my dad's DB and it was an easy install. Just follow these directions:

i got a new mast on ebay for $10 and it took at most an hr. replace it, its easy to do n wont really involve any work

 

I would go with the S2k

 

i bought my GSR with the S2k antenna on it already...i wouldnt have it any other way. In the following pic you can see it...surprisingly its almost the only pic i have of the antenna...

 

i just installed my s2k antenna last week. great reception and looks sexy.

 

ya my integra's entirely black with plans for blacked out head and taillights, so i think i will go for the s2k antenna.

 

i shoved mine down and disconnected it. still get reception, but normal listen to cd's

same here. my reception is actually amazing being that the antenna is down! i have a good head unit + ipod connection so i never listen to radio anyways.

i hate when my friends pull the damn antenna up. it's a bitch to shove down.

 

I want to do an S2K antenna conversion.

 

..simple jsut open up ur radio. clip the continues antenna cord...u can still istento strong signal stations
but to S2k one!

 

I dont get how you guys are having great reception with the S2k antennas. I even tried the insight antenna and still bad reception. So i went back to stock.
