Insight antenna for Odyssey
Here is a picture of the genuine Honda Insight antenna mast on my Ody. I bought this antenna at HandA-Acessories for 16.20$ (+ S&H) and followed basically the installation instructions as given by Chuck for the S2000 antenna modification (see the tech forum for details).
The only difference is that I used a metric coupling nut to join the antenna and the thread from the screw and I used a safety cap, which seems to be a little bit smaller.
Compared to the S2000 antenna this one is a little bit longer and leaner but still a lot shorter than the original one. Be aware that the antenna tends to bend a little towards the body at higher speeds.
I think I agree with Chuck that it is a matter of taste if this is considered to be an improvement or not. So go ahead and decide for yourself...

I like it, looks good!
Of course, I'm a bit biased, as it's the same one I have.
I also found that reception was not compromised too much, relative to the S2000. There is an old thread showing my version too.... I know at least one or two members with reception problems with the S2000 were happy after switching to the Insight.
Congrats on your mod!

Some things are just so good that they have to be repeated at least once every year... :stupid:shinjohn said:Of course, I'm a bit biased, as it's the same one I have.

And my thread is actually showing the '04 insight antenna mod... :joy:
Just kidding. But I don't see a big difference in the receiption either (compared to the stock one, I haven't tried the S2000). This antenna seems to me a good compromise between function and look. I personally think that a too short one doesn't fit for such a car like the Ody.
