I installed my radio today in the Cab of the new 4520 and to my suprise it include an external antenna. I never had issues with the old system, but my dealer says he did in his area.

Its pretty nice...

And how flexible is that antennae?

 

[Brian]

Very flexible. It basically rubber. It also will tilt of hit.

When I fist seen it in there I was kind of put off. I had no issues with the old set up, but I can get stations even my truck will not pick up with it. Pretty cool.

I've never had a problem with mine...BUT this kit would be a great starting point for someone with XM/Sirius Rado...could mod the bracket to have both antennas and route the wiring together...

 

[Nuru]

Brian, I think that is excellent actually. Can you provide a parts list for that antenna? I have a Sirius and I really like how that looks. I use the Sirius antenna now, but this looks very cool.

I have had problems getting radio stations. I wondered if it needed to be grounded. I've already ordered the parts to do install on mine. Looks good. Also like the weights on the inside of wheels.

 

[Brian]

Sam, do you know the part numbers? I have looked on JD parts and not found it. Mine came in the radio kit.

Yea I have them let me find them bracket luv21341. Grommet t122938. Screws 19m7867. Antenna swjd11. I'm gonna make my own bracket. Jd wants $19.00 and 5 days to ship. Grommet is $8.00 same 5 days. So it will be faster for me to make my own then I can put my Sirius antenna there too.

 

[Brian]

Thanks Sam!

I already made my own, radio picks up a lot more stations

 

[Nuru]

Thanks Sam, how about the antenna cable is there a part number for that too?

It's part of the antenna.

Here's two images of home made antenna mount.

 

[Brian]

Very nice Sam. I like that mounting plate better than the OEM one.

 

[Sammarsh]

It's an old flat wrench. Lol I guess I'm trying to be green

 

[Brian]

Great way to reuse it and a great thing others can use!

 

[RandyM]

Personally, I think it looks like it belongs there (factory) or better than. Good job.

Sam,
Very neat retrofit and good use of an otherwise worthless wrench.
