How do I know if my car radio antenna is bad?
First check the antenna connection using the “jiggle test” we mentioned up top. If radio reception pops in and out when you gently jiggle the base of the antenna, then your antenna is not making firm contact with the body of the car. It may just need tightening, or it may be partially corroded and need replacing.
Can you replace radio antenna?
Installing the new antenna is as simple as removing the old one. Connect the cables with the new pillar mount antenna, install the new antenna, and connect the new wire to the radio. Some people may recommend splicing the new wire with the old wire, but this is not recommended.

Some very cheap cars place it at the top of the windshield, inside the car. Other cheap cars place it in the front section of the roof. Older cars had antennas near the boot/trunk. The majority nowadays place it in the rear section of the roof.

Why is my antenna not picking up my radio?
Your external antenna (if you have one) may have fallen or shifted. Since even a slight change in position or angle can have a big impact on your reception, make sure your external antenna (if you have any) has not been re-oriented by wind, rain, or storms. Your antenna may not be high enough.
Where is the radio antenna on a 2000 Acura TL?
2000 Acura TL radio antenna is mounted in the top of rear glass and has a connection at the top of the right rear glass area. That antenna is much like the wire grid used on the rear window defroster, so any break in the wire, if small enough might be repaired.
How do I know if I need a new car antenna?
If the signal pops in and out, your antenna is not making firm contact with the body of the car. It may just need tightening, or it may be partially corroded and need replacing. Stock antennas may need to be replaced after only four to six years.
Does Acura TL have a subwoofer?
As we mentioned above, the factory subwoofer is an 8″, 2-ohm woofer. If you replace it with another sub, you’ll want to add a new amplifier too, because the factory amp just isn’t going to have the power for an aftermarket sub.
