Lost the fitting that goes on the end of the antenna and screws onto the radio. Is there anywhere I can get a new one?

Yes put a PL-259 connector on the end of the cable that will screw on the back of radio. Check Youtube for INSTALLING A PL-259 connector.

Try looking at your local electronics store, best bey, radio shack, or your local TV repair man. The part you are looking for I assume it the PL-259

If I was u , I would contact the manufactor and ask if that part is available , I would think it is . I hope that is helpful , but that is what I would do , or try a marine store , but I would go for the first idea first . Also maybe check ebay , hell everything is for sale on ebay ,lol

You should cut the antenna lead to the shortest possible distance to the radio. The supplied fitting does not work on a short lead. Standard coxial connectors are available at marine stores like West Marine or a Radio Shack. The best require a solder connection to the inner copper wire.

The antenna issue is explained here...and can be repaired for far less than the factory quoted price:http://www.sharc.net/gps_antenna_repair.htm- Jim

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?

The antenna is fixed and cannot be changed. You might be able to add a connector if you have good soldering skills, but I have not opened mine to confirm. It works fine for me and has good coverage.

I went to ereplacement.com and if you have the model number you can find a replacement that should work for you.

I guess from the company ?, look in the booklet or google the radio model something should show up .I never had to replace the antenna so I do not know.

Take it to a place that installs radio...and not best buy they charge to much.... But depending on your car you can get it off amazon

Yes, but drilled hole on new antenna was off hole on radio, so had to remove sm. part on radio to accommodate new atenna. Keep all old parts for any adaptation needed...

Look for a power antenna wire. It will also work. If that is not available you can use a switched source from radio or your fuse panel.

I bought this radio for my sister, who had it installed by the Geek Squad at Best Buy. You might try calling a Best Buy or a Radio Shack to see if they carry (or look online on Amazon!)

Try the manufacturer for the replacement RF receiver. A contact number is in the manual. 319-758-8050.i think the price is ~$30.

I was lucky...there was not a busted piece. The sections of the antenna were frozen together. I was able to pull it out by unscrewing the holding bolt and turning the radio on. Putting the new one in was not hard, just turn off the radio while holding the end in place. I used a utube video to show how. I did have to cut an inch off the cable as the replacement was a bit too high.

this is to install below the original radio. you would take out the compartment under the original radio and replace it with this kit. you will also need the "Scosche Axt12 12-Inch Antenna Extension Cable" in order to keep the antenna function of the radio.

It could be done. First try to use a simple piece of stiff wire, like a brazing rod or a bicycle wheel spoke. If you can get that to contact a place in the center of where the metal antenna normally goes, then you could figure a way to make this work. Replacement antennas similar to the original one are available for about the same price as this unit...or make your own with wire.

Well you can get a replacement end at Radio Shack and fix it. It's just two wire connections to the coax port.

make an adapter to fit the contact that go to the radio..i had to do some carving with a knife and sand paper to get it to fit the radio properly
