Wonderin what needs 2 be done and what not. This Accord pic posted there has the antenna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
installermarc Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I don't see why not, you would probably need to solder a cable together to make it work, as the factory ants use a short cable that goes into a quick disconnect. I've used the factory GM ant on trucks and SUVs all the time with no problems at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kryngle Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yea but with that said, the GM and Acura antenna's look different. The TL jus has a hub on it.

I've used the factory GM ant on trucks and SUVs all the time with no problems at all. See the hub on the top of the TL??? That's how it looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kryngle Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Anybody know if it can be done for sure or no??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xsdbs Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have not seen one that i was not able to adapt to the pioneer or other mods. when they are factory installed the ant has a short pigtail for the coax and then an extension to the mod. you will need to make sure to order both pieces. most of the casings need some minor modifications in order to fit. usually nothing major.
