Default Broken Antenna on Roadster Questions... pic request please

I am looking to buy the mini bee sting from TT stuff, does anyone have pictures of this on a roadster?

Also, I have read that this antenna does nothing for actual radio reception but was for the cell phone option, is this true?

My 02' came with the cell phone package, I obviously dont use the cell phone dock for anything. The cell phone is no longer installed and I just wanted to make sure I was reading this corectly. TT stuff states:

"Fits all year Audi TT Roadsters without factory installed cell phone. Almost all TTs do not have a factory cell phone installed. "<ul><li><a href="http://www.ttstuff.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=TTSA-TTRMBA-SL">Mini Bee Sting</a></li></ul>

Default Install looks real easy but what if the antenna broke off. It happend late lastnight so i did not..

get a chance to inspect how it broke. I had a late hockey game and my hockey bag broke the antenna off of the socket.

You read wrong ... the Roadster antenna is for the radio &amp; phone, the Coupe is phone only.

Default Thank you for the correction, if it is for the radio as well how can I improve radio reception...

since it sucked with the OEM antenna.

Does the Bee Sting effect radio reception adversly when compared to OEM?

Default Reception sensitivity of the OEM unit is pitiful...>>>>

AM Nonexistant. It's more than the antenna...

Default I had a friend that makes knives, he polished the Bolt and put the dimples in it

I just buffed the paint and all was well.

Trailer from Harbor freight, very good investment.
