Does anyone know how much it would cost to buy an electric antenna for a TH, and where I could get it? My dodgy manual one only goes up half way...

Mits make a afermarket one, it's under the accessorys on partfinder, Some mits dealers don't even know it's there. It's about 130-150 bucks but I'l;l check today at work. This comes complete. a replacement mast for this electric is only around the same price as a manual mast. about 30-40 bucks from memory. I'll get back this arvo

Costs around $120. i had to change mine because it snapped while being transported.

Anyone know how much it would cost to get one installed in the place of a manual antennae? My manual mast is like rusted into place. :D

Buy the electric one and wire it up to your stereo.

Mitsu charges like 180 for an OEM one installed... well that was what I paid for anyway...

Was it $180 just for the installation or $180 for the electric antennae supplied and fitted?

Thanks.

does any one know how hard is it to put an elecy anntena in urself ??

I've got a Gregory's book, it isn't too difficult. You have to run a wire to your head unit, which is simple of you've done an amp install. I just want to know how much the part is....

The electric antennas are retail 160. Where abouts are you and if your interested I will get a better price + shipping to you.

I had an electric one installed on my TF for 160 supplied and fitted at autobarn :D

Wow, that's not a bad price. Do you mind sharing which Autobarn you got it at?

I'm in Eltham, Victoria.

Its the AP179 you want. Any repco, autobarn or the like will be able to do it for around $120.

They also do headunit harnesses ... if you want to just plug and play when replacing your head unit :)

Well I got my electric antenna - I'm having trouble getting the factory one out, however. I got all the bolts and stuff off but I don't know how to seperate the part that's outside the car from the part that's inside. It won't budge. Anyone know how to get it out?

Just going a little further.....there are a number of different options, or so it would seem. My verada has an electric antenna on it with a height adjustment, so by pressing a button on the head deck you can take it down to half height (level with the roof) and then back up again. Just wondering if anyone had had a play with one of these (as far as wiring), im installing a new head deck soon and I thought it would be nice to be able to retain the car park height adjustment functionality. So if anyone has worked out one of these units, I would be very keen to have a chat.

Autobarn in Epping (Northern Suburbs), about a year or so ago :D

Height adjustment is retained. The power from the head unit harness goes through the height adjust switch before going to the elec antenna.
