do you need a special tool to unscrew the bolt attaching the antenna to the car?

You do not need a special tool to unscrew the bolt. I used a flat tip screwdriver but you should use a bent nose needle nose pliar to unscrew the bolt. Just be careful if you use the screwdriver because if it slips off the bolt you could scratch the car.

I am almost positive all we used was a regular wrench and maybe a screwdriver. It was so ridiculously easy to replace it once we got the old antenna out... It did require some torque to get that bolt off, though and make sure not to do any damage to it. I was really happy with this purchase, it's been on my Lexus about a year and I haven't had any issues with it.

no a needle nose pliers will work. Also view utube it will show how to install.

I am sure the mechanics have a special tool. I used a needle nose plier, as recommended, but they did not do so well. The tips of the plier must fit into the slots on the threaded bolt and the plier must be kept at the right position. You got to try this to understand. It's "tricky", but it can be done without a special tool.

Yes, there is a metal core in the cable housing so you will need a cut off tool or a hacksaw.

the stud that the antenna wire screws onto unscrews from the stud that the antenna whip hooks to. Once you remove that stud the other one slides up.

I don't think you can, there is nowhere to attach it. I don't think you would need a different antenna the stock one works great, pulls in stations from all over the country

Yes, just unscrew the center and change everthing out to the proper hardware you want use. Works very well for the large boomarang antenna I installed on it.

the antenna screws onto the base. I don't think the screw comes out of the base, but i could be wrong. A call to a body shop might be a good place to start?

Yep. All you need is a 10mm socket wrench. It's really easy. I found a video on YouTube that explained the process.

Most antennas can be unscrewed. Failing that, there is probably enough space to put the board to one side of the antenna.

Yes, the antenna can unscrewed and will connect with any SMA female type adapter.

To remove the antenna is necessary to disarm and is extremely easy anyway for my use was not necessary, even if you want there are faradaith cases you can use.

No you have to purchase the wire harness adapter and dash mounting kit and antenna adapter separate cause each car requires different adapters and wiring harnesses

If you use a pen or screwdriver to widen the hole and wet the hole it will "screw" onto the antenna. I use it that way on my car.

I have a 2014 Civic Sedan and it did NOT require the rivet nut tool. There are two large rectangular holes next to the hole where the cargo hook goes. Just slide your fingers in there to get the bolt and washer in place. Then use a socket wretch to secure the hook on. Takes a minute or two.

Yes, the antenna is detachable. The radio has a female threaded connector. Looks like about a 3/32" size to me. Of course the antenna has a corresponding male connector.Douglas

The window is only for the rear plate. As for the antenna: it needs to be unscrewed from the holder in the top of the car

there is a notch at the top (end with stubby antenna). use a small flat screwdriver or fingernail while pushing the cover towards the top from the back of the unit
