Has anybody installed an aftermarket antenna on the roadster? I'm not too keen on the wrapped wire look and would like to replace the OE antenna.

I have seen short (4-6") antennas for sale on the bay and wonder if they will have the same ability to bring in stations that the OE antenna does?

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

 

CTD Germany has some different ones.

I have 2 different after market antennaes that I use, see pics below. I switch back and forth as the mood hits, no radio distortion or signal loss from either.


CTD - Germany comes with 3 different shafts about $32.00 US

Beesting Antennae from Ebay $22.00, exactly the same as the pic below of the CTD - Germany 24V antennae.

Yea, but out of stock!

It sure looks like the OEM part, tho.

 

The same antenna with base appears to be available from some other E-Bay sellers.

These have been discussed before . . . The problem is that the connector is different that what is needed to hook up on our Crossfires. There is no (easy) way to change the connector. Anybody have the answer??

 

If you just want to replace the rotted rubber gasket . . . This is what you want:

can i please get some insight on what to do about the 2 wire to 1 wire conversion.

 

I'm new to the forum and the Crossfire car itself and I'm looking for some advice.
The gasket on my antenna base is cracked and I was looking at a VW Jetta gasket. It looks like the gasket is a little thicker than the Chrysler. Has anyone ever used one to replace the original?
I've included some pictures.



Thanks for any advice or info in advance.

 

Probably will work. This Amazon Link says the Gasket is compatible with Chrysler / Porsche / VW.
This website is a good source for Chrysler Crossfire Roadster antenna hardware - CLICK.

 

Thanks for the info and links!

 

has anyone installed that base with just 1 wire? how is the reception changed?

 

I just got this from ebay. I haven't put it on yet, but it looks like the correct gasket. It comes with a 9 inch antenna, but I'm using the standard 16 inch antenna on my car.

@M60A3Driver Was this the correct gasket?

 

Looks like the one I used in 2019 when I replaced mine.

 

@type dougie Sorry, I still haven't put it on yet. I'm stock piling parts for winter. I'll be living in my garage until spring replacing parts LOL.
It looks like the original and the seller, lightning-fast-crossfire-parts, has 100% feedback. He sells mainly Crossfire and SLK parts.
All of his feedback comments indicate that it is correct. If you click the link and scroll to the bottom you can read them.

 

@type dougie
I replaced the gasket today. It's a little different than the stock gasket, but I think it's a better quality.
