anyone know about fitting an electric aerial on at tj wagon. difficultly and possible??

just buy a kit from like supercheap or some where like that, repco ect. u just bolt it up and run some wires to acc and power and ground

mmm my areal is stuck at the moment so ill be looking at doing to my sedan soonish ill keep ya posted

i was thinking of tryin to wire it up so it only went up with my radio being on, not cd. but i think that might be rather hard

thats wat the yellow wire will be for.

mine only comes up wen the radio is put on, there is a wire out the back of the headunit which allows for this so its down wen cd is on

yellow wire from aerial or from radio.

"thats wat the yellow wire will be for."

I put a "push lock" switch on it, works great.

If you want to put a mast in the unit, remove collar at back left hand guard, turn ignition on to raise the aerial. Get some one to help, as soon as the aerial gets out, put the new one in by the helper and turn the ignition off. The aerial retracts - all done put the collar back on.

Happens in seconds.

Hope this helps

Dont know about wagon.. but TL sedan antena is $100 genuine..:P and will fit TE-TL.. they all have the same rear quarter and for some silly reason TL one is quarter the TH one..:confused:


Fitted on to Tanyas TH.. fits like a glove..:)

how do you get to the wiring? is it in the boot?

if you have a power one already yes.. if not you need to run a power and trigger to the boot..)

What exactly would you connect a power and trigger wire to? As you can tell, I'm noob when it comes to car electronics... but I wouldn't mind replacing the fixed antenna off the back of my VR-X :D

to a 12v power source in yur head unit area. either yur cigarette lighter or yur headunit power

Aeropro make a Kit for the magna part number is AP179 (available from Autobarn/Repco etc)

has all the instructions in the kit on how to install it

i took the power from the factory point for the Cell phone connection
if you have a after-market Head unit then you would normally connect to the Blue wire

or if you still have the stock head unit there is instructions in the kit on how to connect it to the factory unit using the power on button with the head unit

You know a ball park figure for them??

around $100 i think unless you know some one at autobarn that can get staff discounts

A new electric antenna kit for a tj magna cost $105 from mitsubishi. I need a replacement mast as mines bent but they said only the whole unit can be bought.

Repco sell the replacement, non gen, mast at about $40. No Ap ####### something. make sure you get the exact model for your model Magna.

Year manufacture is important.

I bought and replaced as previously described in this post. No problems.

DEC 28, 29 30 Repco has a 51% off sale on old and end of time stock.

Could be lucky, starts tomorrow.

Hope this helps
