Stock antenna issue
 

(1989 XJ Limited)

If I were to put the fuse in for the power antenna, the antenna will make a noise like it is trying to go down but it isn't moving at all. Is it just broken or could I attempt to fix it. Oh and how the hell do you take it out in the first place?

Ugh, thats an annoying problem. You can replace the entire unit with a non-motorized model cheaply. Fixing the power one may not be worth the effort.

you can access the bottom of the antenna to remove it via the passenger floor kick panel.

Step 1: Remove fuse
Step 2: Acquire Stereo with Aux/Bluetooth capabilities
Step 3: Never use FM radio again

Really? I'm glad I asked I was about to go through the wheel well because it's like that I my moms Lexus:thumbup: i think I'll just mess around with it just out of curiosity. But I'm sure you're right.

Already did steps 1-3 :thumbup: I just want the damn thing to go down so I can go to a drive through car wash for once (My paint job is trashed so it's fine to take it through one of those). I have a $190 pioneer stereo with everything including handsfree

HD Radio is really awesome. Very few decks have the capabilities. The channels are CD quality and no commercials. I myself only have it in my car.

Stock antenna issue
 

lol I'd cut it off

I don't have an HD radio because my head unit has Bluetooth, auxiliary inputs, usb inputs for using a flash drive for music, and having audio plugs for additional red/white cable outputs like for example a PA speaker sitting in the trunk if I were to wire it up to a power source. But only standard radio. Nothing special but it gets the job done when I want to listen to the news on KCRW (I might be 17 but I still like to know what's going on in the world)

I was thinking about that but it wouldn't look too clean:thumbup:

FIFY

Leave the fuse out, leave the antenna up.
No problem, mine up for 10 years, still intackt.
And the stock antenna gets really really good reception.
So why mess with it.
Also, step away from the Lexus, that path leads to the dark side.

There are separate outputs for an amp. I tested it with a PA speaker and it puts out good sound also. But then again you can use an amp for it if you want.

That's how it's been and I dot want a Lexus. I love my Jeep. No Lexus for me. I like the American Muscle. But if I were to get a DD with no budget it would be the 2015 Mustang GT350R:thumbup:

Cherokee, fun, no ticket.
GT350R, fun, monopoly, straight to jail, don't pass go, pay $200. But fun? Yes Wow!

You guys would be kicking yourselves that you didn't buy a Z06. Zoom, zoom.

Lol it's a nice car but idk the only Bette I'd buy is a red with white side trim '53 vette. But I would absolutely love an 89 Porsche Speedster or this thing but the Ford Raptor version because I saw one parked once and it was so f-ing cool because of high it was to prerun. And with its recessed lightbar in the grill and roll cage that went out to the bed and it's wide body
