From what I have read the "original" dealer-installed, fender mount antennas stuck out 8" when fully retracted. The reproduction Hirschmann's fully retract. Anyone here have one of these "original" antennas that they'd like to post a pic of? When the dealers were installing the radios/antennas, did they just reach for whatever was available, or did a certain antenna go with a certain radio? I have a Motorola Sapphire, and am curious as to what the proper antenna would be to accompany it.
Heres a pic of my radio. Plan to install it soon. |

I don't believe that ANY part of the radio installation (or A/C for that matter) is 'standard'. The dealers used whatever they had/could get. There is not a document from Porsche telling them where to drill the holes or what parts to use. So, IMHO, there is no original radio/antenna to find. As long as it's period correct, you're as good as you can get. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I am curious to see what people might know about the partially retracting antenna. |
