Yep, it's the XM Radio antenna.

The guy at Honda said mine was an S2K, but it looks different from what I've seen posted by others who say theirs are S2K as well.

No biggy, it's shorter than factory original, that's all I cared about. Sorry for the additional post.

So glad these things don't have this cheesy roof antennas. Wish they'd just put them in the glass though.

IIRC, most cars use the same threads, or at least the same few variations. You could probably just grab an antenna at O'Reilly's or Kragen and have it work just fine.

Used the perrin antenna off of my old EVO. Fit like a charm!

I don’t know about you, but the competition is usually who has got the longest…

Honda Part # 39151-STK-A01

$7.33 from Delray Acura, they do charge a hefty shipping - 10.95 for USPS Priority, but it still was under $20 so I'm happy.

Plus it looks HAWT.

and if you want to see the OEM comparison:

^ Bah, don't feel weird. It's not like you're the first person to ever do it. Honda dealer here keeps S2K antennas on hand just because so many people want to buy them for other cars.

I bought a really small perrin stubby antenna. It does not work good at all. Next to no reception on the FM, and the HD doesn't work at all

Another good reason to go with Honda OEM, if it didn't work, Honda wouldn't use it.
