Default Scion tC Antenna Stock Replacement

Hello newbie to the scionlife website and I apologize if this topic has come up already. But when I was researching the tC, I came across a dealer bought and installed accessory made for the '05 tC. It was an aftermarket antenna that basically looked like a small block. It was only 25 bucks and I'm not into the s2000 antenna...so I was wondering if anyone picked up the accessory. I noticed only certain dealers would have it. Is there any place I could pick one up?

thanks

a block?

that's for satellite... the stock antenna will still be there... it's just another antenna.

not a replacement.... an addition.

Yup.... it's for satellite radio.... do you have satellite radio? I've seen a lot of tC's with satellite radio that also have a small block next to the stock antenna.

I'd have to agree. It would be a good idea to not have a Honda part on your car. There's just too much fascination with Honda stuff. (Not just where I live, but everywhere). Why draw attention to yourself with Honda parts? I might look at lexus antennas like Squall mentioned.

The funny thing is i bet the honda antenna's and the lexus/toyota antenna's are all made in the same little antenna factory out in japan or china..It's just an antenna who cares..

antennas are antennas... It doesn't matter which one you get as long as you like it. I do however suggest getting rid of the long stock antenna,.lol
