I have a 1994 honda accord ex and the motorized antenna broke. I was wondering if there was a screw in substitute antenna that looks better than the stock and would still give me great reception. Kinda like putting a s2000 screw in antenna on a toyota celica . Thanks

 

you can get an s2000 antennea kit.. I dont know where.. but in the words of waterboy, "You can do it!"

 

Dont know if anyone has tried but you can try a 96/97 conversion. Antenna in the rear windshield and shave the old one on the quarter panel.

 

I have a 94-95 (2dr only) rear window w/integrated antenna for sale, if anybody is interested in the Seattle, WA/Portland, OR area.

And there is a difference between 94-95 and 96-97 rear windows. And a difference between coupes vs sedans. Trust me, I first bought a 94-95 rear from a junkyard, but it wouldn't fit on my 96. And the bastards wouldn't refund me my money back after they assured me that it would fit.

 

you could also order the antenna masts that go up through the inside of the pillars supporting the roof... hotrods/ luxuries been doing it forever.

for awesome bmw/ merc clarity in the radio... use multiple masts... I believe the s600 and other achieve their perfect reception with 4 masts (one in each pillar front and rear).

more work though than having the rear window changed out.

 

Do you have pictures or links as to where I can buy the antenna masts that go underneath the pillar ?? Is it hard to work on the antenna area ??

 

im feelin you mang, i am in a similar situation. mine will not go down anymore(motor is shot) and have contemplated what to do. ultimately i would like to shave and move on, but the bodywork and painting is in the future. might consider removing the motor and going from there---f*ck who knows

anybody have any DIY ideas to get a diff antenna in there?

 

Yea... So lets see can you use the existing antenna wiring from the stock power antenna and say put in one of these ?? With no major wiring and using the stock wires in place ??

Check out the s2000 amplified antenna kit.

 

there are antennae mast repair kits out in the market place. I've seen DIY writeups on google for different cars....

the mast kits are approx $15-25 on ebay. I've heard many autosound shops can do a jigga-rig that "kinda" does the job. YMMV

 

does anyone know if you can get the 40 degree base mount that adapts to the s2000 antenna so it will fit? they come in the kit, but can you get them separately? anyone anyone, bueller bueller

 

I would say get the s2k antenna or you can do it like my girl did and shave it . My car doesnt have a antenna mast but it still gets great radio reception, plus majority of what I listen to is cd's. But thats me.

 

gotta love the 94 coupe with the rear window

 

VR--i think you need to shave your bosses antenna and then handcuff her mang!

..but likewise i rarely, rarely listen to the radio, so this is why im thinkin about pulling the motor and putting the s2k antenna on for the time being

 

antenna? what antenna?.. oh yeah the 94 coupes have them on the rear window

 

XM

 

Xm antenneas look retarded... huge nasty looking black covered wire runs to middle of trunk and extends to a fatty looking slope.. I think they ruin a cars flowing lines.. Thats what h-tech style is all about.. looking Flush

 

there are over 20 different styles of antennea available, so there should be something for everyone. jm2c

 

has anyone ever done this ?

 

care to elaborate on the diff styles and let us know whats what

 

FWIW:

I used the S2K conversion kit for a DC2 on my 91 accord.


I also have a spare antenna motor if anyone wants it. CHEAP.

 

what did you pay for the s2k kit? the site i found them on was out of stock and didnt show the price. sweet user name by the way

 

the kit was about $20, and I bought the S2K antenna new from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

Thanks about the user name.

 

was the antenna like 25 and the kit 20? from what i have researched i need the 40degree base adaptor to use the s2k antenna on a 94 accord.

 

sounds about right. The dc2 kit comes with an pvc adaptor that should work for you. If not, it will cost you about $0.82 to make one from home depot.

The whole conversion kit can be made from home depot parts.
