Stupid antenna!

[Driv3er]

the antenna of my 2000 GLi wont extend anymore. Whenever i turn on the radio, parang nag ga-grind yugn gears ng antenna tapos titigil na lang bigla..pero di pa rin naka extend. Kaya ko ba ito ayusin? Paano po?

Kung kailangan ipaayos sa isang shop, saang shop sa Makati pwede ito ipaayos at magkano po ang usual na binabayaran para sa ganitong trabaho?

Salamat!

learn from my mistakes! huhuhu.

the banawe boys will charge 300-400 to attempt to repair your antenna. if that fails, they will replace it with a surplus one and charge you 2000.

here's the rub -- you can buy a brand-new one from that auto store in megamall (NOT concorde -- ubod ng mahal dun) for only 750.

sir which auto store? tung malapit sa entrance ng parking, floor ng movies? saka how do I have it installed?..kaya ba ako na lang magkabit?

Mura ang antenna sa Autosport (sa Megamall). Kapag car show naka-sale pa sila, Php600.00 for the whole set. Sa SM naman, sa BLADE ay Php1,500.00 ang assembly (presyong Banawe) pero branded kasi (Hirschmann). That's the OEM antenna used on European cars (including MB).

They are universal and pretty easy to install. Nasa packaging na ang wiring diagram. Since you have an existing antenna already with existing wiring, it's virtually plug and play. Removal of existing antenna usually requires loosening the silver thing on the topside.

I was a victim of this. When i was still using a Sentra, I had one of the banawe boys replace it with a surplus one. Only lasted less than a year.

[non-vtec]

on my previous cars, puro repair lang sa banawe boys. badtrip coz after a few months maingay or sira ulit. sa current car ko, i bought the oem mast. around 1k ata. solved na. bolt on and no conversions.

Goodness gracious! P2K is way lower than what a manong from Banawe quoted me a year ago. I have the same problem, and he said the "motor" of the antenna was busted so it needs to be replaced. Quote was P4K for surplus and P7K for brand new. Good thing I didn't ask him to repair it. Up to now it's still like that so I rarely turn my radio on

Do you guys know of any shop in West Avenue that can do it for a reasonable price? I really want to get it done na. Thanks in advance

sir,
ang original antenna ng toyota ay may plastic rod sa loob na may gears. pag naputol plastic na yan, d na gagana ang antenna. motor na lang. and it is not repairable.
pwedeng palitan yan pero masakit sa bulsa estimate ko around 4th for the part pa lang. you are better off buying replacements. 4th mo may antenna ka na, may pang kain ka na sa jolibee 10X. hehe

Mahal talaga ang antenna sa casa. Yung mast lang mismo kapresyo na ng buong set.

Pinalitan na lang namin ng universal yung sa Sentra dati after masagi ng careless pedestrian. Same lang naman ang butas and adjustable ang universal.

Btw, madaming cheap automotive goods sa Autosport. Diyan din ako kumukuha ng wiper blades. Php45.00/pr lang ang refill.

Ganyan din ang problema sa honda vti, maingay ang antenna during radio on-off, kaya ang ginawa ko tinanggal ko ang antenna ang dismantell it, sira ang plastic gear kaya maingay, binalik ko na lang at disconnect ang electrical connector for the motor, pero balik mo parin ang isang wire para sa antenna yun, wala nang ingay pero hindi na gumagalaw antenna ko ngayon. manual na lang kung hihilahin ko or push ko pabalik sa loob.

plug and play na kaya ang for honda civic??

[banaweonline]

Yup. Yung friend kong walang alam sa sasakyan nakaya, eh. hehehe. Sinunod lang yung engrish instructions at drawings sa box.

I replaced mine with bnew. So far its ok.

HU on > radio - antenna up
HU on > cd - antenna up parin... ginawan ko ng switch

so you can user radio - antenna up or down. Esp pag may madaanan kang puno na kelangan mo ibaba kaso yaw mo ipatay radio.

Followed the diagram yet the antenna doesnt go down when you go to CD/MP3/AUX mode.
