AntennaMastsRusPower Antenna Mast is Compatible with Lexus ES250 - ES300 - GS300 - LS400 - SC300 - SC400 - SC430 - Part Number 2886337-32200

This product fit my 2003 sc 430 and works great. Installation was easy, followed instructions in Lexus forum.

I have to tell you first that the seller of this antenna is the best I’ve ever dealt with. I called them before buying this because I was skeptical about the product and the ease of installation that was presented. I talked with Chuck and he told me the antenna was after market, but built to OEM specifications and that his company screens all their products for quality. Anyway, this was the best $20 I’ve ever spent because everything Chuck told me was true, this antenna was installed in 15 minutes, with my granddaughter in the car turning the radio on after I removed the retainer bolt from the old antenna, so it simply raised up while I held onto the old antenna until it completely removed itself. Next, I lined up the new antenna, cable notches pointing to the rear of the car, just like the old one, then fed the new mast through the fender opening until it stopped inside the antenna box. I then told my granddaughter to turn off the radio and presto, the new antenna cable was sucked from the new mast, as I fed the metal portion into the hole until it stopped. Next, I pushed the rubber mast end into the fender hole and tightened down the nut. My granddaughter turned the radio back on and the antenna extended and retracted perfectly. This is a great product from a great seller, so don’t hesitate to buy from them, they will quickly answer their phone and give you any needed guidance. I am still amazed at how easy the repair was, also my radio works perfectly again.

Used on Lexus SC430. Remove lock nut around antenna. Press and hold AM and DISC buttons, turn ignition to accessory to eject antenna. Insert new antenna teeth on strip facing rear then turn off ignition. once antenna was pulled in I reinstalled lock nut. Done! P.S. helps to have two people ( someone to guide antenna while another turns switch off ).

Easy to install

I was so excited: i was going to have a radio again! Instructions were easy beesy. but the mast wouldn't go all the way down. The existing mast cable (both pieces - we took apart the entire assembly to make sure there was not a third piece) was a foot shorter than the cable on this unit. The instructions say to DO NOT CUT THE CABLE. The cable on this unit is approximately 57 and 3/4" long. I'm not sure if someone put the wrong cable on the mast at the factory or if the package was labeled with the wrong part number or what (part number matched the one that we saw in various YouTube videos). Ultimately, we ended up cutting off about and inch and half to 2 inches and then re-installing the antenna and it finally seated all the way. i'm a bit concerned that all the extra cable is going to be a problem downstream (because this cable is about a foot longer than the one that broke), but it works right now.If anyone knows what length the cable should be for a 1994 ES300 mast, please post it for me and everyone to know.

Used this kit to replace the mast on my girlfriend's 1996 Lexus ES300 and the job turned out great.In my case, I removed the entire motor and took it apart to clean the gears inside and check everything. The original mast was shot (someone probably went through a car wash with it up) and there was no gear track even present. I used white Teflon grease to lubricate the internal gears. Seeing the inside of the motor and gears was helpful in order to see how the gear track on the new mast needed to thread in.Anyway, I ordered this replacement mast from Amazon and it arrived quickly. The replacement mast plastic gear strip needed to be trimmed down a little so the antenna would fully retract (I cut off about 5 inches of the white gear strip provided on the new mast). Basically you just take out the old mast out and snake the new mast in while operating the radio. Remove the antenna cap (the part with the 4 slots on the Lexus) and un-thread it from the car - I used a pair of needle nose pliers to loosen it, then un-threaded it by hand.Once that top cap is off, you just turn the radio on and pull out the entire mast. Thread the new mast in while you turn the radio off and it will grab the plastic gear strip - this will pull the new mast down and you can tighten the top cap with the slots to secure everything.

Purchased this antenna to replace broken antenna mast on 2006 Lexus Sc430. Also need to purchase Lisle Antenna Nut Wrench set. Remove retaining nut from antenna, then place key in ignition and while pressing am and disc on Lexus stereo and rotate key from off to accessories. The antenna should fully eject from the car. Insert new antenna in to antenna hole with teeth facing rear of car until it stops. Then turn off stereo. Antenna should be pulled in to car. Replace nut. Job done.

I can't believe how simple this was to repair. If I had taken this to the Lexus dealer, I would have been paying $175-$200. The key is following the directions from another happy customer that bought this product. I will post them here just in case you can't find it.Replacing the AntennaThis is a two-person job.Remove the antenna retaining nut. Be careful not to scratch it.With the key in the ignition switch "LOCK" position, press the "AM" and "DISC" buttons on the radio simultaneously with turning the ignition switch to "ACC". Then the radio "LCD" display will read "ANT" and the antenna mast will hyper-extend, disengaging the cable. You can let go of the "AM" and "DISC" buttons now.With the ignition switch still in "ACC", the new cable is inserted to a full stop into the motor antenna assembly through the mast pipe hole in the body panel, with the teeth on the antenna cable toward the rear of the vehicle.As the person in the driver's seat switches the key to "LOCK", feed the cable and mast pipe in.After it retracts completely, replace the retaining nut.
