No wiring in place for power aerial in a NA6 so not just a remove/replace scenario. I have seen them fitted but didn't look straight forward. Some cutting required.

My sons JDM NA6 / Eunos Roadster has one but you have to press a button to raise/lower it, not sure if it was factory fitted seems aftermarket to me.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Mine was automatic with the radio and it looks remarkably factory. I've seen other NA6's with the same aerial so I assumed it was standard. My car is a V Special though so maybe it was an added extra?

That's about the best photo I can find of it sorry.

so ther is hope then... its good to know that the NA6 may have come out with 1... i may need to look around and see if i can pick up one... if any1 finds 1 cheap let me know or.. if any aftermarket 1 that doesnt need me to cut anything would be great.

late model jap NA6's had a motorised aerial, comes up automatically with the radio; so the part does exist, but those cars have the wiring in place to run them, so if you do find the aerial, you will have to adapt/modify/create control wires for it.
Totally possible, but if you didnt want to "cut anything" then its probly a waste of time.
Just get one of these, they are 100% plug and play and look great!

Yes, Australian NA6s won't have any wiring. Just fit a stubby aerial.
