hi lations,
this evening, when i was abt to drive off my latio , i notice that there is a noticable gap between the antenna stick (see photo).... i think there must be a piece of stopper that was broken off cos I do not recall it look like that whenever I wash my car......
the whole antenna stick remains intact(I even screw and unscrew the antenna stick but seems ok leh)....
y that part can drop off? anyone share the same experiences as mine?
was it a case of sabotage?
-
How come your Antenna looks different from mind ?
:glare:
Is it original, could it be someone swapped yours ?

Yes, it is original antenna, quite disturbed when I see it this evening..... :confused1:
Is the portion between the stick and the base make up of a removable stopper? (i,e, the missing portion appears in the photo)...

Eh, on second look, i think like kanna swapped. The original antenna is much longer right?

like wat a bro here did mentioned b4, watever is outside our car does not belongs to us its actually "public property" eg. wipers, tyre caps, antennas
Haiz bo pian ah tis type of things quite hard to prevent unless u put car cover or install camera loh
-
u still consider lucky with a replacement antenna on it, most of them bun even get 1.
-
oh.. once this starts.. it may spread non-stop. hehee.. i guessed the guy, bought a replacement but find out it doesn't suit therefore no choice went to "search" for compatible ones..
-
install spy camera? hee..
-
my car got cctv also kenna one valve cap missing. but i lazy to go view the video la. if not i'll print his photo out and show his fug face. anyway not worth my time..

The person may find thd reception of the FM signal weak with this antenna so swap with ur car.....
-
yeah, one consolidation.
The thief still has some conscience of replacing his own antenna .....
but one thing, had he not replaced... i might have notice it at first instance and so that I would know where is the crime scene (is it my house or the workplace MSCP). I think that might be his/her purpose.
I dun think the antenna is weak.. i use it and it work perfectly fine as my previous own antenna.... the thief must have felt it look awful on his/her latio....
will start saving for the replacement and hopefully TCM does not charge a bomb... it is a eye sore.... to have such an antenna.... everytime I see it when I open the door...

anyway juz a curious qn : if our antenna is stolen.. will we be still able to listen to radio?
what are the side effects if we do not replace them immediately?
-
You will not receive any radio signal and thus no radio.
You can try it out by unscrewing the antenna.
-
oh... okie.. thanks alot!!!

Maybe still able to receive just that the signal is weak and you can hear distortion sounds, same like you are under the basement.

Me using the same antenna but silver colour (self bought and changed, not kena swiped). It works well, nevermind that gap lah.
I remember SC Lawrence Ong at TCTP service centre told me that the original antenna cost $80+. He himself driving a red Latio 4AT. He was the one who suggested using after market antenna and keep the original one.
-
woh? TCM charges $80 for that stick? I tot at most cost $30 - 40.
I went to autobac to see but dun see that it fit nicely leh..
anyone got any lobang where to get valued black suitable antenna stick for your latio?
-
I once thought of removing the external externna and installed an internal
Anyone try that out ? ::)

the internal antenna will b sticking on ur windscreen, don't think it nice. normally brand will be bosch cost ard $30+
-
Hi,
finally managed to get an antenna which cost me $7 / -
still it does not fit all the way into the base nicely... but at least look better than the previous one.
should anyone come across an suitable antenna for latio but not as costly as TCM charges, do share with me.

Should be coz saw it on quite a number of cars like especially on CS3. :smile:

My mechanic told me to keep the original $80 antenna. I bought one $10 antanae from DIY jurong point. It looks like the one in the picture. The interface part is not nice. The original fits nicely. Now i was thinking what am i going to do with the original one. If i put it on Ali Baba will take it. Actually i found the original one gave better radio reception.

it really puzzle me.. why do pple want to ali baba antenna... is there such a hobby as antenna collector?
-
I think it is quite worrying. If there is a chiong antenna tt fits our Latio, i will use it and safekeep the original.
