MS3
I went to the dealership today to give them the rest of my down payment. Its been about two weeks since I've gotten my MS3, and in the show room they had a new MS3, exact same as mine except I notice the antenna was significantly shorter.

I asked the sales guy, but of course he hadn't even noticed the difference. I looked at the dealer price window sticker and it didn't say there were any options installed. Do MS3's have factory shorten antennas? Could it be this is a new addition to their line? I'm just wondering, I think it looked really cool.

Do you think you have the regular 3 antenna?Its longer then the MS3 and you can pull the antenna out so its even longer.Mine is short.Take a picture and show us what it looks like.
 
He didnt say but he may have a 08 and that may be what they are putting on the 08s.Maybe they want you to go buy the short one from them as a after market item now.

Hmmmm....
 
Oh ya..It is the same as the regular 3.

Holy crap your right! What the hell is that about? I feel disappointed now, like I didn't get my monies worth (seriously though, I do a little). Hmm, I'm going in for a free oil change there soon enough, I'll ask the service depart the answer me what the hell is going on with it.

Kinda makes me wonder.... urgh...

Yeah, my car is an '07.
 
if you have an 07 Spd3 then it should have the short one.
That is bulls*** and let them know! Somebody swapped it.
I do believe it is the same antenna that is on the CX-7.
 
YEAH 07 SPEEDS CAME WITH THE SHORT CX-7 ATENNA. THEY Short handed you!! they all came with it!
 
short antenna

I got the same long antenna on mine when I picked it up on Friday. I thought there should be a shorter antenna, but didn't realize it then. I will have to check with the dealer. What has your dealer said. Maybe ones made past a certain date come with the longer antenna?

I went to the dealer and they swapped the short antenna from the CX-7 to my car.

Issue is resolved now. I called the sales manger a while ago, and he said he'd switch it out with no trouble. I finally made the trek there to pick up my tags, and he took care of it then. Basically he stone one off another speed3, hopefully who ever buys that one won't mind :).
 
When I got my Car the sales guy could not find my antenna to install it. So he went and got another one (The long one like your talking) and was putting it on after the detail was done.

I went into the car and opened the glovebox and took out the original antenna that was in there. He didn't even look.

Moral of the story. Go back to the dealer and tell them you want the original antenna even if they have to take it off another MS3.
