How to Replace the Antenna Base on a Prius (Gen 2, 2004-09)

You can't just get any antenna base, the Prius has a pre-amp built into the base, so you need to get one made specifically for the Prius.
Here's a web-based tutorial that I used as well: www.wallwatcher...

I want to compliment you on a very well done instructional video. No extra unnecessary verbage, repeating "uhm uhm" s and clear camera work. Volume was good also with no interfering background noise

[@Rejoin_2023]

This is how all tutorial videos should be made. Many thanks from the UK.

I know this is a pretty easy fix for this car, but dang, this is one of the best how-to videos I've seen on the Prius. Well done. I skipped the removing the handles part and had it done in about 45 minutes. Thank you!

This should've been pinned.... XD

[@julieD5508]

This probably took me way longer than it took you but I got it done. It's wonderful to have a working antenna/radio again. Thank you so much!

[@briancclevenger]

Awesome job. My antenna just fell apart as I was driving. I'll get to work replacing it thanks to this video. Thank you!!

[@wired_awake]

I have to do this to my 2010 corolla, no videos specifically for it, but this looks pretty similar, so thanks! :)

[@user-ji8ls9dr9f]

Same, but I’m hoping to use the current roof leak hole for a ham radio mount

[@jimmiebusseyjr9762]

Thanks for the video, I replaced my Scion xB using your instructions and it was a breeze!

Welcome back to More Pi!

[@EbbertLodge]

Great video. Followed your steps to a T.

[@gilbertbagus1542]

Rip antenna, we'll missed you

[@OUTPOST5gaming]

lol it got vaporized

[@tonymacg1880]

Thanks for the video, I replaced the antenna base in my 06 corolla.

[@themischievousgentleman5521]

Anyone else get exited that the radio came back on to the Dave Ramsey show? Thanks for the vid. Borrowing my friend's Prius for two Weeks. Still unsure whether I'll replace the antenna.

[@MFP2241]

Useful... but why people never ever clean the surfaces prior to replacement?

[@ErikTheOkapiYT]

Pi: *Makes a 3 minute vid on how to fix the antenna....*
Lightning: *Destroys the antenna in 1 SECOND!!!!*

[@pguerra727]

Great video…but before you get to doing a complete tear down, if the actual antenna is broken or damaged, you can unscrew the antenna from the base and screw on a new one and you’re all set.

[@jaredf6205]

God hated this antenna.

[@angelapolinar5343]

Pi: fixes antenna
Supercell: YEET

[@Jaoay001]

Great video. Someone broke mine last week. After watching this video and how much work you have to do to change a stupid antenna, I hope the person that broke mine get his hands chopped off.

I don’t wish bad things to anyone but you know karma is the worse bitch ever

[@CamperGirl03]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MaxANDChewy-db8ny]

Mine just got completely ripped off in a car wash tonight but I have a Chevy Spark...Ugh! Appreciate the video but this may be one for the dealership. Im one to try to fix it myself but not sure this lady is up for the task.

[@the_flyattractor8656]

Is the Rubber seal just that easy to pull out? I got this same issue on mine and have to stuff to repair it, it is just te thought of messing with all those plastic holders..yeah not looknig forward to messing with those.

[@mimilopez2361]

If you haven't already, could you possibly do a video on how to replace the rear spray nozzle. My dumb butt knock it off with my garage door. Thank you!

[@julieD5508]

Yessssssss! I need the same info!

Can you put an exact link with the product you have taken? I can't find the one with two cables. thanks

[@LiL13izzy7]

The struggle of filming with one hand is real!

[@janellebennett5666]

Wow amazing job on replacing radio ateena. Hire you to replace mine. Whats cost?

[@drewidrie2396]

Looks like a lot of work :-)

[@julieD5508]

At about 0:34, you're talking about loosening the side panels. But in my 2007 Prius, the side panels are all one piece and there's a side airbag behind there on each side. Any concern that could be set off? Kinda weirded me out messing with this area so I stopped.

[@andrejjuricic4292]

I have the same problem, so annoying, I can't even unscrew the external extension of antenna.

[@mccpesh]

Great job. Thanks

[@aavalos163]

All that to replace the antena? I thought that it was just screwed on top. At least that how it is on my mazda5.

[@abrahammassaquoi1726]

Thanks for this

[@wojciechdmitrzak5982]

Super.Great video.

[@jpnm81]

Cool bro thanks!

[@raymondperez3553]

Great video!! Will this work on a 9th gen corolla mine might need to be replaced?...

[@chivo4323]

Where you able to get it to work?? Got the same problem on my 9th gen rolla

[@fshs9028]

Hope when it rains water won't leak

[@aaronbass456]

How about acion xb just need the base

[@Narnian_knight]

I guess its good you don't have a perfect Prius

[@lormanny1854]

[@Jo-hannson]

[@davidsphone8449]

Thank you

[@davidtaylor2131]

You never cleaned the dirt /roof under the old Base, hamfisted...😅

[@MorePi]

Oh yeah, that would've been a good idea!

[@yaboiryan7640]
