Lexus IS300 Antennas

When the antenna on your Lexus IS300 is damaged, its important to find a replacement one. Getting a replacement antenna for your Lexus does not have to be a hassle. Instead, understanding the way your Lexus antenna system works will help you select an ideal replacement.

Your car antenna has the fundamental job of transmitting AM or FM radio waves from your local stations and available satellites to your Lexus IS300. Although some types of antennas are embedded right into the windshields of cars, most stick out directly from the body of the car to get a stronger radio signal and to avoid distortion from the metal body of the car. There are three main kinds of antennas.

• Whip antenna: This is the classic car antenna shape. As its name suggests, a whip antenna is a long, thin rod of metal usually mounted to the hood or the roof of your Lexus.
• Telescope antennas: Because telescope antennas work like a classic telescope, you can pull out or retract this kind of antenna either manually or automatically. Automatic or powered telescopic antennas allow you to retract or extend your IS300s antenna from the inside of the car if you spot potential hazards you want to avoid, such as low branches or car washes.
• Windshield antennas: These antennas are made of thin wires that have been set into your windshield glass. Because the windshield glass protects the antenna from damage or bending, windshield antennas offer many benefits, but replacement can sometimes be challenging.

In general, the type of antenna mount tends to matter because when youre replacing an important part, its easier to install a part that is identical to the one being replaced. If you choose an identical antenna, you know that your Lexus will already work with the replacement with few changes. You just need to determine if your replacement Lexus IS300 radio antenna works with the make, model, and year of your vehicle and whether the antenna requires a fixed mast mount or a pillar mount.

• Fixed mast mount: One of the most commonly used antenna mounts, the fixed mast is usually the easiest model to install if you need to replace your radio antenna. It is usually placed on the roof or the hood of your Lexus.
• Pillar mount: Usually placed on your Lexus door frame, the pillar mount then connects to your IS300s radio receiver inside the vehicle.
