The left is the car color, the right is their "alternate color" for the white. It's a much closer alternate than some of the other colors they offer.

I've got a Cusco antenna on order. Here are @mechaghost's pics of it (not mine):
Only because I wanted the JDM antenna for its similar shortness til I realized it's it tilts/folds requiring a different base that won't support sat radio which the USDM base does.

I don't know about anyone else, but I hate the satellite antenna. I had an aftermarket satellite radio in my old 3 series, and that thing never dropped it's signal on the way to work (I drive through heavily wooded areas of I-5). Now this thing consistently drops signal in several spots, any time the South/South East has any serious tree obstruction.
I work with satcom at work, there is almost no reason for it to be dropping the signal as often as it is, I think it's mainly because they integrated it with the FM antenna or because the housing is poor. I really can't wait to try another option when it comes out, or I'm just going to drop satellite radio. |

Look in the radio section of the forums. I've tried several antennas and the FM reception is less than stellar with all the ones I tried. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ht=White64Goat

Yup. Twist off, twist on the new one. Even the fins are easy. Just twist off stock, twist/screw on the connector for the fin, wipe down the area the fin will sit on with IPA, line it up the way you want and then peel and stick.

I actually used some blue painters tape to line up the fin with the center of the car, then mounted it as you mentioned. Took me all of 10 minutes.

I should have specified, I'm having a problem with the Sirius XM antenna, not the GPS antenna. Mine was produced after the fix. Or is there a TSB for the Sirius antenna too?

Mine was also produced after the problem was supposedly fixed. When I took it in for a service, I told the tech about my intermittent problems with reception etc. when they checked it, they discovered that the upgrade had NOT been performed on my car even though the vin# was after the problem range. Subaru authorized the fix and since then everything works perfect.
