240 ?
 

Looking at shaving my antenna. Talked to a guy at GoHo and he said he's not sure but he thinks some of the 240s have the antenna imbedded in the glass. Does anyone know for sure? And if so what models?

I plan on going XM and roof mounting the Sat antenna so its not a real big deal if not. Just kinda wondering now

in the glass? never heard/seen that on a 240SX

Cool...Wasn't sure so I thought I would ask the resident 240 guys here. Not a biggie. Not a whole lot to miss on local radio

Just solder the antenna wire to the chassis. You don't need an arial to get reception. I have that setup on my F150 and you can't tell a difference.

Hey guys,

Got around to looking at my back window last night. It actually looks like there might be an antenna in the glass. There is the wire for the defroster and above that is another connection not tied in to the defroster. the only thing I can think that it is, would be an antenna. When i get around to stripping the interior I will let you know for sure.

here are some pics of what i'm talking about. I don't think you can see but the top wire is not tied into the defroster at all.

It looks like its part of the defrost. Does the top block touch any part of the defrost lines?

thats defroster :p its the same in my 300zx.
i had an external antenna.

but i shaved it :lol:
i NOW have glass mounted antenna

Re: 240 ?
 

The top block does not tie into the defrost lines at all. Why would they have 2 seperate defrost lines? And the top line is only about the size of one loop.

as far as I knew that was the defrost :dunno:
