Looking short antenna for MRS

[benyeap]

As the topic suggested, I'm now looking for a short antenna (like those frequently suggested in spyderchat.com) to replace the default auto antenna (in which already spoiled/jammed). Any suggestions where to get one? I had look around accessory shops in Subang & GLS/GS, most of them are either too long, the built-in type or not suitable. Please guide as the current spoiled antenna motor sound is making me crazy & frustrated.

To stop the craziness, why not just unplug the wire giving the spoiled antenna power in the interim until you find your solution.

I know this sounds noobish, I don't know how to unplug it though...

HI ben

short antenna? like the plastic S2K ones? well, radio receiving will be worse but its nice & short. A possiblity is to use hyundai sonata one. probably custom a little.

you cant find the short antenna electical one as they arent available in market anymore. btw they are RM300++ unit. was an 'in-thing' years ago but have been replaced by internal/hidden type of antenna these days. also most ppl now listen to CDs / MP3 hence the antenna replacement isnt high on list.

there is a pin which can be disconnected on these player wire-harness. disable the electrical signal to remote start 'erecting' antenna.:)

its a bit of DIY (from SC library) or you can just give to the car accessories shop & they can help disable it.

Just got it disabled at GS. Now looking for the Sonata type antenna but couldn't find one. The original antenna from Hyundai is too expensive though, close RM 300.
