Saab Antenna

I drove past a new Saab yesterday and noticed that the antenna was very short. I've read on here about people replacing the stock one with a S2000 antenna but it looked even shorter than that. Has anyone put a Saab unit on there?

That looks to me more like an xm/whatever type of antenna... Looking at the Saab USA site, the 9-3 has an integrated rear window antenna.

Oh.It's the only one I saw as I went by it so I thought it was for AM/FM.

I was noticing today that a lot of new cars don't have an 'antenna'. I guess a lot of them are integrating them into the back windows like the Saab.

It handles 4 functions: OnStar voice and data, OnStar GPS, XM satellite, and XM terrestrial. All in one nifty little package:

The shark fin looks pretty cool but kinda speny for an antenna. I just got this one for $9.99 shipped:

the best replacement for a perfect fit is a lexus stubby if you want that stubby antenna. the s2k one's base doesnt match up with the vibes antenna base so it looks weird.
