[DML] Re: How do I replace a power antenna?

["anbrahaesl" <anders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Aaron,

I have replaced my antenna and it's really no big deal to do. I didn't have an original 
antenna as a replacement. I bought a new antenna directly from Bosch and the tricky bit 
was to get a black one. But this new antenna had its relays built in so I had to figure out 
how everything was wired, cause the relay in my car was located in the compartment.

But I understand your antenna is original, so you probably just have to cut the three cables 
and solder on the cables from the new one.

To reach the antenna, locate the hatch one the left pontoon and get the air purifier out. 
Now you can reach the antenna and see it with some difficulty. It's mounted on a bracket  
so changing is quite easy. But the aligment is importand when you have to new one in 
place. I found out that a power antenna is actually quite strong, cause I didn't get it right 
the first time and almost destroyed the new antenna. So aim the best that you can and 
everything will be fine.

Hope this gives you some help, feel free to mail me if you want me to explain more.
