I got a chubby....I mean stubby
 

Just picked this up today, it if for matrix, rav4 and I also think venza but fits perfectly.

REDACTED

I'm running an agency power antenna on mine

some more shot of the wing/lip overall please....

With the antenna or just the wing? It is a oem spoiler

Where did you get the antenna?

Dont know if you wanna brag about having a stubby ;)

Lmao

I got it at the toyota/scion dealership. Yes, I could have bought one online for 10 $ but then I would probably pay more in shipping and cross border fees/taxes than the antenna itself and so it would probably end up being close to 30 dollars or more.

The OEM Honda S2000 antenna is also a very popular choice for replacement antennas. The base of the S2000 antenna also matches up better with our car's antenna base. Here's mine:

Is that where the sirius satellite box goes? I want satellite radio but do not want to put it there because some _______ could cut the wire.

Yes, that is where the OEM Toyota instructions have the antenna placed. This is not the Toyota satellite option though. Toyota offered only XM at the time...I didn't like their channel lineup as much.

So I went with the Sirius SCC1 Connect + the Audiovox SIR-TOY1 interface translator for our head unit. It functions just like factory. For wayyy cheaper too.

I just followed the satellite radio installation instructions found on trdsparks. You definitely want to route the antenna to that location for the best reception...either way it's going to be exposed to potential jackasses who might want to steal it. Just like any jackass can walk up to your car and unscrew your brand new stubby antenna.

If anyone wanted to steal your satellite antenna by cutting the cord, they'll just have a useless piece of hardware. It still requires the cord and satellite tuner box to function. Anyone cutting the cord would just be doing it to be mean. I've had mine installed for well over a year now and it has not budged an at all. The magnet holds great.

I see what you mean but, an antenna looks subtle and does not stick out of the car or attract as much attention as the satellite box. I just think greater chance of a jackass cutting wire on box than taking antenna.

The main point you should have taken from my post is that the chances of someone cutting it are slim to none. They will just have a useless piece of plastic. They won't be able to do anything with it because it still requres a cord and satellite tuner box in order to function before they can even think about using it with their radio. There is no benefit from stealing it. At least with the antenna they could take it and screw it onto their own car.

i've heard more stories of people steal screw on/off antennas than cutting satellite antenna wires

This.

I know a specific member on this forum that bragged about stealing an S2000 antenna.

Why do people feel the need to steal someone else's belongings? *shakes head*

I remember those days...sad times

this. so much this...whether you steal for a living and own a chop shop....or u steal something one time....its always bad because it always means it inconveniences someone else. #norespect

(yea i just hashtag'd, and what? lol 8))

I want to install hidden cameras with audio and motion trackers in my car equiped with night vision for possible situations like this but, it would probably cost alot. Has anyone you guys know had this done before?

a little paranoid don't you think? I thought Canada was suppose to be nicer/safer. esp BC..i always hear its so beautiful with so many trees

just install an electric shock alarm. anyone that touches it when they are supposed to get shocked LOL that would be fun

Or better yet an inspector gadget self destruct mechanism :)
