There you go. My antenna was from a 08' Dodge. Higher end Calibers and Sebrings use these antennas.

Fit was perfect, and from what I can tell.. the same size as the Acura antennas, and half the cost. I measured my new antenna, and it's about 5".

Damn, the closest Acura dealer is about 45 miles from my house. Can anyone buy an RDX antenna for me and ship it to me? I will pay you cost, plus shipping plus a few bux extra for your time.

Please let me know.

Why buy the Acura antenna when the Dodge antenna is the exact same size, and cheaper? Surely, you must have a Dodge dealer near you.

Got mine from: http://www.oemacuraparts.com
Search for a 2007 RDX, and keyword: Antenna mast

Mine was like $11 shipped.

We probably do. I will have to look.
I didn't see your post at the time I posted mine.

Thanks for the heads up.

I told ya! All these people are paying double for an Acura antenna, and the Dodge antenna is the EXACT same thing, for HALF the price.

I am so happy that I discovered this. You guys can all send me the money that you saved, if you'd like

your welcome

Radio is so 1990's...














I like this antenna better than the S2000 one. I might have to splurge

Ya, I went broke getting my acura one, too. Pfft.

And is it me, or does the Dodge one have a shiny plastic tip on it?

I was looking at the picture again and saw a little gap... can you just tighten a little bit more to reduce the gap? Is this noticeable from a close distance? Seems like it is.
