is the antenna collapsible other than by removing the magnet from the car? Thanks!

It has a thinner section that can be taken apart with a small screw. So, top section 16 inches? sets inside base rod to hold in place with allen wrench. Does not slide down into lower section. If you use just bottom section, your reception will suffer.

Not sure what you mean by collapsible. The magnet is housed in a hard plastic case which doesn't collapse. But you can remove the antenna from the base. I just unplug the cable from the CB and remove the whole unit when I don't plan to use the CB, which is the whole purpose of using a mag mount.

The rod can be unscrewed from the base - so you could leave the base in place as long as you have some way to tighten the rod when you want to put it back on. Theoretically you could also remove the top part of the antenna using the supplied hex key to separate it into two parts, but you would need to be very careful to mark (maybe with electrical tape) exactly how far to insert the top part when re-installing so that you don't detune the antenna. I would not recommend it though as the hex screw used to attach the two parts feels a bit soft and may be damaged by repeated removal and reassembly.

Yes the antenna is detachable. In case you are thinking of using an external antenna for a `fixed' or mobile configuration, be aware that the supplied antenna appears to be unbalanced. It has a simple threaded connection and not one of the coaxial type of connectors, PL239/259, 'N', BNC etcetera. Matching an external antenna may therefore be problematic.

John the antenna can be removed. I do not have in front of me but I think it is a bit conector.

Antennas are not removable. I was not happy with the performance of the units and sent them back.

yes its detachable. I have always used the antenna that came with it and haven't had any problems with reception.

Most antennas can be unscrewed. Failing that, there is probably enough space to put the board to one side of the antenna.

The mount is the same as an automobile antenna. The antenna position is also adjustable with a screw driver.

You have to unscrew the antenna, which is easy, inorder for the cover to fit properly.

The antenna is detachable and I think it can be replaced with another SMA antenna; the connector is SMA like however I really didn't test it so I can't be 100% shure but I would say it is likely.

The antenna comes with a EDGE MOUNT / LIP MOUNT which is locked in place with two set screws. THIS IS NOT A MAGNETIC MOUNT. It is made to go on the edge of your trunk lid.

The cover does not have an antenna cut out. It is not 100% waterproof. It is very well made, and fits my 2000 328i perfectly. It is original BMW OEM part.

there is a notch at the top (end with stubby antenna). use a small flat screwdriver or fingernail while pushing the cover towards the top from the back of the unit

Yes, the antenna can be removed. The unit has a standard female BNC connector on the back. Make sure whatever external antenna you use is cut for the frequency you're using or damage to the power output stages may result, and don't ever turn the unit on with no antenna..

The antenna that I purchased, has a "trunk lip mount" bracket installed; and, it doesn't appear that the bracket is removable...for converting it to a "roof mount" application. Check with the manufacturer, and see if they don't make one, for "roof top" applications.

no it does not ,it looks like it does but its molded ,it only comes apart at the bolt ,you can fold it down but not remove the antenna

Yes, a small magnetic base on a 10' wire. OK for car use. Much better with other optional antennas. Also need the coax atapter connector.

No. The antenna is not removable in both the units but those antennas are fitted on a hinge like fittings so those can be rotated to left, right and back. So you can place those units in a very small places where vertical height is a concern.
