CRX antenna options
i recently broke the antenna plug where it goes into the radio, i was wondering if there is some type of antenna that plugs in that is concealed behind the dash. I want to get rid of the stocker anyway because of it large size and just use a blocker plate to delete it. Any ideas where i might get of these antennas or any other suggestions?
Several companies make hidden antennas, but they never work as well as an OEM replacement. It's going to be a choice between good looks and good reception. Personally, I prefer the OEM style because I hardly ever listen to AM or FM, so I keep it colapsed into it's base. But when I do need it it's there for me to pull out and use.
I took my antenna out of the stock location and put in a Fuba antenna where the rear window squirter was. The reception is great and looks a lot better imo.

You have any pics of it ? Was it a bitch to run the one wire ? I recently accidental cut my antenna and I want to remove it to, but I never knew they had hidden antennas. And does anyone know where to get that cover plate ?

Here's a pic
Running the antenna wire wasnt too bad for me but then again I had my interior pretty much stripped. I still dont think it would be very hard as long as you took out just a few pices like the pillar plastic and the plastic piece that the dome light goes onto. The worst part was cutting away all the metal so I could get to where I was going to be mounting the antenna. Had to go through like 3 layers of sheet metal and then had to grind away some at the very top level (just below the roof itself) to get the antenna cable base to sit flat.

Thanks, but here is my hack job to the sheet metal to get the damn thing in!! Not the prettiest (I just wanted it in) but atleast its all covered and you cant see any of it.

I forgot to respond to that you can get the block off plate from the Honda dealer for like $4 something. And also the gasket which is also $4 something. Oh and the screws are like $.40 cents each.
