Michel - prior to your original thread, I thought about replacing my factory antenna with either the SL antenna or the black R170 antenna. My thought was to either replace the antenna and base going with the SL antenna and base and then take the old factory antenna and base, plugging it into the antenna amplifier, leaving the SL antenna for show only or splicing the two antenna cables together and then connecting to the amplifier. I could do the same thing with the R170 antenna, as I would have to order the R170 antenna and another factory base which should include the cable that attaches to the amplifier. I would then mount the factory antenna somewhere, either in the trunk or the rear bumper cover. I held off once I read your solution. Is there any merit to what I described or should I just add some wire, soldered to the amplifier circuit as you suggest? Would using insulated wire lessen the reception? Thanks for your help.
