I was referring to say one idea- running a antenna say through your side pillar and there should be a little grommet - take the cable through there and around to the rear windscreen, use a glue on/self adhesive antenna on the out side of the glass...Yes drilling a hole in your car body is one solution (prob not the roof however), and adding a conventional type would increase your reception... But not the best recommendation if you dont wish to cut the body!You will find that there is no need for drilling at all if you try a different solution... Hence my above recommendation...If jaycar no longer have this type of antenna try a car audio place... simple... and should cost more then about $50...Looks like this : Edited 20/11/08 01:21 AM by smicky

Mine was working and now its sh*tYep!Mate there is... its behind the passenger side plastic panel which is push cliped and runs beside the rear windscreen...There is a little black box which also runs the rear demister so be careful not to damage the other wires in the area!the Ant is the bigger think black one with the metal push clip like socket/connection! Might be worth wrapping some sticky foam (the stuff you use around door ways to stop drafts) as well... just incase when you move it, its rattles! (unlikley that itt would have come loose but).

Mine was working and now its sh*tYou know you go alright when you can quote your own posts Had a bit of a look see today. Started in the boot and removed the pannel covering the amp. No loos wire no antena wire. Moved on to the pannel under the parcel shelf.. Again no wire.Pulled the parcel shelf off and no wire so I decided to pull the passenger side cover off (Near the seatbelt and its light grey in colour)Presto. Found a black box with what appears to be a thick black wire coming out of it.. Bit of a fiddle then fixed. I have no idea how this could have come loose.
