I still haven't been able to finally install it. I thought I had it but the installation was not tight enough. The hole from the old antenna was too big for the materials provided. There were no instructions so it was a lot of trial and error. Washers that would work were not normal and difficult to find. The electronic antenna went up one time and stayed up. It works for reception but it is supposed to retract.

Extremely difficult to install and figure out the wiring. No diagrams or schematics to help.

My mechanic installed the antenna but the mast would not automatically retract when the radio was turned off. The product was not made for a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker. I am returning the product for a refund. Thank You.

The unit came with no instructions, no diagrams, the wrong mounting brackets, no pre-wired connectors. You have to improvise the entire installation - which will take you two or three hours instead of 15 minutes.

I had someone install the antenna. It wasnt' the same part as the original, so there was some fanagling to get the part to work with my car. Installation should have been easy and quick, but took several hours to complete and the antenna still won't go down when the radio is turned off.

Antenna does not fit this vehicle. I had to manufacture my own mount and had to pull pieces off the original one or it wouldn't even go up straight. I had to run all new wires also.
