kp1095 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 i asked this same question around June and no one had, i was looking at using a new Mazda 3 or MINI Cooper antenna, i think it is very similar to the VW style. I have the same issues because of the mountains around here. I will look around and see what prices i can dig up for new ones. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vr4Legacy Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 The '08 Impreza's have a similar antenna now too. Keep it in the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBoy Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I haven't done this myself, but a ricer kid I know once did this on his Civic. You have to drill a small hole in your roof, run the antenna wiring from the antenna to the radio, or at least to the existing antenna wire. Since the antenna is in the back glass for the Legacy, I'm sure that you could locate the antenna wire in the back hatch. Undo the top plastic molding, and you should see it there. Make sure you dont use the defroster grid power line:lol:. It should be easy. The hard part would be getting that antenna on the roof, with you having to cut a hole in the roof and all...

kp1095 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 sometimes it's not the tint but the terrain that you live in...when i am in the bay area the reception is fine. i think it would be worth the few hours of work to get much better reception.
