Re: Antenna Defeat switch an easy install MOD
A while back someone on CF forum suggested this place for antenna mast replacements:
http://antennamastsrus.com/ I've used them for a couple of non-Corvette antenna mast replacements and the installation was fairly simple and I was pleased with the results. Haven't done the ZR-1 replacement but I'm sure it would be similar. |

Re: Antenna Defeat switch an easy install MOD
i had to replace the antenna in my zr-1 after tom henry chevy broke it and wouldn't man up to it. I went from MAD or ecklers or one of those places. it was and easy fix but I do like how the 91+ cars antenna stays down with the cd player is used

Re: Antenna Defeat switch an easy install MOD
My car came with the switch mod already done...I use it frequently after the carwash incident in my old LT1 C4.

Great news! I am thinking about the AVIC and you guys keep tempting me with new projects. I just capped off my antenna hole and removed the antenna entirely last week. I installed a Tune Trapper antenna (http://www.tunetrapper.com/Hidden_Car_Antennas.html) in the rear under the cover along by the glass latch. I am waiting for a body plug and a new connector and will post photos and review of the install. Still waiting for the front speaker amp rebuild (both sides) to come back and then I will determine if I am satisfied or not with my JVC Chameleon head unit. Craig

Re: Antenna Defeat switch an easy install MOD
Cool glad to have helped. It's a cheap easy mod for those of us who listen to Sirius/XM on our after market stereo's

You'd love the AVIC, Secondchance helped me get it installed and it works great. I am familar with the tune trapper, I use on on my Harley, I mounted it under the front faring, it works OK, not really good. I would be interested in seeing how you plugged your antenna hole. Rich

Re: Antenna Defeat switch an easy install MOD
My Turq car has a switch in the dash glove box. I never put the antenna UP and always seem to get good reception. I think I may have put it UP when traveling to Bowling Green last year.
