DC2 VTi-r antenna

**mintmintchoc** · 01-05-2011 04:36 PM

Hey guys,

im just wondering, is the antenna on the vti-r always UP? Even when im not listening to the radio? I reckon it looks pretty ugly and most the time im listening to CD's anyway. Is there anyway to make it go down when im not listening to radio?

Cheers

Your antenna should only come up when the radio is on... when radio off/car off you antenna should retract. Maybe it's broken (common problem)

considered an s2k antenna conversion?

It retracts when the cars off, but not when i'm listening to CD's. yeh i have considered yet, but very low on the to-do list.

Ahh sorry i misunderstood your question. I thought you meant it's ALWAYS up. I haven't tried CD so i don't know. Does it go down if you turn off the radio/cdplayer? Is yours the honda one or an aftermarket headunit thing

Yeah that antenna pissed me off cause mine gets stuck like mid way. Got an s2k antenna now looks so much cleaner imo

Put a switch in and turn the antenna on only when you're listening to the radio. It's easy to do and if you've ever installed your own head unit it will be a piece of cake

I'd like to do the S2k swap. Does anybody have a guide for it? How much am I looking at? I've already removed the spoiler and the rear wiper. I want it cleeeeaaan.

Here is your solution. Costs around $50 all up inc postage and it's one of the best mods you can do to your Integra. It looks awesome so buy it straight away!

It comes with instructions too I think.

Agreed. I ordered mine from locustom for $43, should arrive sometime this week. Should be 30 min install. If you want, you can wait til I install mine and ill let you know how it is, the radio reception etc. Otherwise its only $50 for a quick cosmetic mod
