Power antenna delete?

Has anyone deleted there power antenna and gone with one that just remains in place. I seen one on ebay that says its for third gens. I cant find a complete power antenna for a good price so I'm thinking of just going with a fixed antenna. Electrical powered parts can be a pain in the A** sometimes.

I'll be honest with you and say you can pick up any antenna at your local auto parts stores. Antennas (for the most part) are not car specific, its a different story going the other way around, getting an electric to fit, but an....analog should fit.

Re: Power antenna delete?

I picked up a powered hidden antenna from Ebay, I think it's made by Dakota Digital... I don't want an antenna sticking out from my fender, had the hole filled in... I've not used it, but I heard good reviews from others...

Most of the time, I would be listening to ipod anyways, but for local stuff and news I wanted the antenna...

I got one of those shark fin antenna's off Ebay. Had the hole on the fender filled in and it looks so much better.
