Still waiting for mine to get stolen as well. However, my OEM S2K antenna killed my reception. It's terrible now. Wonder why others dont have this problem?

 

anyone have any experience with the S2K antenna and any FM transmitters like the iTrip?

 

Maybe the reason some of these guys get great reception and some of us don't with the shorty antenna is because the radio towers in some areas don't put out a strong enough signal?

 

dchengmd,

sorry about the antennae. i would be irritated too.

i still have my stock antennae, but strange thing is that i have a spare one too. maybe the dealer accidentally left an extra one in my car.

then again, maybe i sleepwalk and steal people's antennaes. j/k

 

I'm actually getting better reception with the S2000 than with the stock one. MY stock antenna sucked for reception.

Oh, and by the way, DON'T STEAL MINE

 

Welp, I went out and picked up another S2K antenna this afternoon, for $19.

This time I put a drop of Rod Loctite on the tip and screwed the thing in as tight as possible. I guess we'll see what happens. It might thwart the casual thief, but if someone *really* wants the antenna, he'll get it. As long as he leaves the rest of the car alone.

Blah. What would anyone want with an OEM S2K antenna, anyway? Unless the thief also drives a Z, S2K, etc...

 

I have an s2000... my antenna sits in the trunk

 

Yeah my "silver" shorty antenna is peeling and flaking

But my reception is the same....I had to put two tiny plastic washers in the base, though.

 

S2000 Antennae's fit new celicas, volkswagens, and those are just the cars that i know of.

It fits perfectly on the new celica.

 

I'll just leave my oem antennae on =) its not that ugly.

 

this has nothing really to do with the topic but i thought it was funny how one of the first 10 kanji i learned was for car, and thats just the order it was in my book, seems funny that car is so high up especially when u dont learn watashi until like 50 kanji LOL

 

 

yobri's signature has the kanji for kuruma (car) and his site has it in the middle of the tach. i just reminded me that ŽÔ (kuruma) was one of the first kanji i learned which is weird, if you dont know anything about japanese then what i said might not make sense to you dchngmd

 

Ahh, I see. Sorry, without that quoted I had no idea what context your post was in.

 

After I got mine stolen I put red loctite on it. While it does help keep it more secure, it DOES affect reception, at least I noticed a difference.

In any case, if the person were really that intent on stealing it, they could still get it off, theyll just put more force into it.
