I see some of you have changed your antena on your Durango to the shark fin type. I see many of them on ebay from China and elsewhere overseas. What kind are you using for the 730N Nav unit and where is the best place to get one?

 

I ordered a Mark II VG Shark Fin antenna from visualgarage.com located in Canada. It should be here in a couple of days and according to other Dodge Forum members is very easy to install. You need to provide your paint color code found in the sticker on your driver side door jam so they can paint match it.

"We are happy to announce that we can continue to offer our Mark II version at the same price as our Mark I version, currently priced at $69USD (including painting to your OEM color as usual), plus shipping/handling for $12USD to USA (including tracking number & insurance). This new shark fin antenna was developed specifically for vehicles that have an AM/FM rear-roof whip antenna and a Sirius/XM/OnStar/GPS chip-set antenna integrated into the larger antenna base. Our Mark II antenna will allow you to replace the whip portion of your AM/FM antenna and cover the entire large antenna base on your roof to give it a clean look. Installing this antenna will not hinder the operation of your Sirius/XM/OnStar/GPS chip-set antennas that are integrated into your antenna base.

Thanks Ak! that was exactly what I was looking for. I love the forums for quick reliable information. I knew the 8 dollar one on Ebay were a joke and you my friend have steered me in the correct direction. I will place an order tonight.

I also see you are a Chevy guy by your rides. I am also and my durango is only my second Mopar I have owned, the other 18 have been GM's. I do have to say GM can learn something from Chrysler on fit and finish, mucho impressed and pleased with my R/T.

 

I first believed $69 plus shipping for the Shark Fin was a lot of $$$ until a I saw all the junk being sold on ebay and other sites. Make sure you update your Durango vitals in your signature block with all the mods you do to your Durango.

 

I just tried to order one and they don't have our vehicles in the drop down menu, did you call them to order yours? Also maybe Im not the sharpest tool in the shed but where is the "signature" portion so I can fill it in????
