    Default $$$$ for a power aerial ?

    I need a power aerial for my 2000 VT, Here in NZ they are $140 for a second hand one (tried two different wreckers, same price). Whats the cost of one of these in Australia?
    Cheers all.

    Do they keep crapping themselves or something?

    Did you need to buy a loom with it or can it wired straight up to an after market head unit?

    Do we buy these via the internet or does someone retail them?

    All you need is to buy that aerial and you can wire it straight up.

    JB Hi Fi sell them and so do strathfield along with places like repco, supercheap, motoquipe etc. that should have them.

    Autobarn / AutoPro etc all stock them. Or online here

    Not all in the same car but yea they shat them-selves.. Motors / Electrics. They plugged straight into where my factory electric aerial went. Can't remember but there might have been very slight modification to the wires to get it to fit.

    Especially for the AP6 aerial for VN-VS... It fits and it works... but theres like 7 different aerial modules used between VN to VS and its not compatible with all modules.. So basically sometimes it has a complete mind of its own

    None of those places mentioned seem to ship to New Zealand. Anyone know of an outlet that does ship to New Zealand?

    Yep. Pull teh front left wheel off and the wheel arch lining. I have an Aerpro power antenna in my VR. I've never had any problems unless I used the height adjuster on the stocko headunit. I have an aftermarket headunit now and it works perfectly with it as well. I've had it for almost a year now.

    Yeah theres a local Holden dealer but they are asking a fortune for a genuine Holden electric aerial.
    And as yet i've found no one in NZ selling aerpro aerials and no one in Australia seems interested in shipping to NZ. Unless i want to remortage the house for a new Holden aerial it would seem i'm stuck.
