I have read that some are installing these in place of OEM on Zs

Is it a simple unscrew and replace?
Does the S2000 Antenna "sit" right?
Is reception affected?

Thanks. I'm new to this so probably asking redundant questions

It is a redundant question, but...

1. Yes
2. No, but close enough for government work.
3. From what I've read, not much.

 

I bought a generic one on ebay for $12 and it sits flush with the base. Can't say anything about reception tho as I rarely listen to the radio. On the rare occasion I've used the radio, reception was just fine.

 

Thanks

Yes it just unscrews-it will take 30 seconds to swap
Yes it sits flush
No signal is not affected
Yes I have it and I know what Im talking about


BTW 2004 Acura MDX's also use the same antenna, just so you know...

 

I have a SB ZR..I bought both...Courtesy's shorty aluminum ant. mast and the black s2000. Both reception is equal in my area. I still can't make up my mind which one I like the best. Lately I've been leaning towards the shorty aluminum to offset the color?? It does blend in with the door handles!

 

i'm not sure whether it makes a difference or not, but i have the honda element antenna. it looks like the s2000, but seems to fit better on the base. perfect fit, no change in reception.

 

I bought an S2000 antenna from the Honda dealer and it killed my reception. Interesting how some people claim no difference, others say minimal change, while others (like myself) experience a huge loss of reception.

 

The difference is more than likely in how strong your reception was to begin with... if it was marginal, it's going to get noticably worse with a shorter antenna.

 

the is300 antenna fits better, more flush with the base of the Z

 

i have the s2k antenna... looks much cleaner than the stock one and reception was not affected where I live (toronto, on)

I can even get the stations in buffalo that my stock antenna could barely pick up

 

Thanks for all the replies
The shorter antenna will look much nicer.

can anyone post some pics of the s2k antenna? Thanks

 

wheres the best place to pick up the s2k antenna and how much, imo it would be really expensive to buy one from the dealer. can some of the ppl who bought the antenna off ebay plz pm me a link or something thanx

 

After shipping, it ends up being ~ the same price as from the dealer.

 

where did u get urs from n how much, any idea how much it costs from the dealer. if all else fails and its to expensive i might as well steal one off someone elses car......

mine was about $23 from a honda dealership around here. it's not expensive for something that looks as good as it does compared to the stock one.

 

thanx yea, i just went to the dealer today and picked me up an element antena for 25otd, they only had the element ones in stock no s2k ones, the element one costed more but they matched the price becuz they didnt have any s200 ones,.

I always ordered my Honda parts from here:

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...NTENNA-SPEAKER

204733 004 1 ELEMENT, ANTENNA NO COLOR $15.14

Interesting how this is an S2000 antenna yet it says Element, Antenna. I think they are one in the same.
