Default Possible to replace the shark fin?

Newer model Audi's have more refined antennas, is it possible to swap out the "wart" with something more stylish? I mean the North American RS6's don't look like the 1:43 model car from the Audi catalog.

Any ideas if those antennas share the same functionality and wiring?

Thanks. I haven't even seen that antenna on the Euro RS6's. Strange.

Default probably....

you'll just need to see if the wiring will be the same. I think you are referring to the roof antenna that is found on a C6 A6 or 2005 allroad.

Keep in mind:
1) probably two versions (one with GPS and one without)
2) The avant (allroad) and sedan version will probably be slightly different (as they use a slightly different diversity antenna switching system for AM/FM - between rear glass, roof etc.)
3) Probably need to have it ordered to match your paint (not sure)
4) Probably $300+.

Worth asking the guy at the parts dept for prices etc.

Keep us posted.
