why not just buy an oem one off ebay? plenty of them around.

You could also do a S2000 antenna conversion. If you search you will find directions on how to do it and pictures. I did it and it looks and works great.

I was hopeing an aftermarket one would be more reliable than stock. I will check into the S2000.....

Thank you,

Just replaced mine on the 3.5, got it off ebay for 11 bucks. If you hear the motor working, then you only need the antenna and the cable thing!

S2000: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t65507.html

Or best bet is to get a used OEM one from Ebay, TN, or a Junkyard. Aftermarket ones will not have as good a fit or quality.

S2000 Rocks!

No mess with frozen antennas.....do you not hate it when it is stuck frozen?

S2000 looks cool, too.

Had to fix mine again today....just stopped midway, the cable thing became bound up in the motor, not sure why?...but I got it working again, had to take the cover of the motor over and over, couldn't seem to make it catch!......That S2000 antenna is looking better every minute!

I need more information on getting one!

Do the S2000 antenna. Plus, they aren't three feet tall like the OEM one is when it's up. Though I do like how the OEM one looks in the down position.

isn't it just normally the mast that goes bad?
not the motor?

I only ask because mine doesn't work and it looks like the top section is missing (cable normally attaches to it)

More times then not, it is the Antenna that goes. I did the S2000 when my motor went.

My motor worked fine, the cable broke! (1st time)....Yesterday I noticed it was up again, you would hear the motor run for just a second and stop...thought the motor went bad, When I took it apart the cable had become bound inside the motor somehow

So I removed it and the motor was fine, then I had to get it to feed inside again, had the wife turn the radio on and off for me, cussed alot

Took the motor apart like 5 times before i could get it to work...it would go in so far and jam again!...finally when I was ready to throw the fucker over the house

..It fed all the way and is working OK for now!....I'm pretty sure its going to stop working again!
