Custom Antenna
I was thinking of relocating my antenna since I do not like the stock location. My car is in the body shop, so I figured now is a good time to do something different with it. I was thinking maybe one of those small VW antenna's on top of the car, but it might make it look like an RC car.. Don't know. Anyone have any ideas? Pictures of yours?
Thanks

I would just eliminate the powered antenna and just use the factory antenna that's in the rear hatch glass. It works good for me.

If you have the rear wiper I'd keep that though I really miss it in the rain on my new 7

I didn't know we had antenna elements in our hatch glass. Why would Mazda use both a powered antenna AND a glass antenna? I'm confused.

Mine is broke also. My reception sucks soo bad I haven't even turned on the radio since it broke 8 months ago. I just looked through the FSM and there isn't anything I could find on an antenna in the rear glass, just the defroster.
BTW, for those of you with broken antennas. Turn on your radio, wait until the antenna stops trying to raise, and then push down on the antenna as someone turns off the radio it will usually feed back in.
