Default Can you give me a pointer on what it looks like?

I'll be working on my car this weekend and would like to find that stupid antenna and try to move it around to get better range. But I have no idea what I'm looking for.

I was waiting for FatAuto to post what he found on his. He's got a 99.5 also - and it turned out to be different than yours. But he couldn't find it either....

BTW, is this something I could find out myself it I had the Bentley CD? I like asking questions around here, but sometimes I feel like I'm using other people's money too much.... :P
