    Hey guys,

    Can anyone with a 2015+ model check and take I photo of your antenna connector?

    I want to buy the fin type antenna but I'm not sure if the connector type from the 15+ model is the same as the 12-14my.

    If we can get a photo up then we could use it as a guide to find and buy used one's from other Toyota models. If the connector fits that would be awesome!

    Cheers

    I know the beat sonic antenna is a plug and play. If that helps

    Thanks but I want to buy an original Toyota antenna.

    I swapped my antenna on my rav4 with an original Toyota fin antenna and I want to do the same on my prius.

    I agree oem looks are best but sometimes aftermarket is cheaper. Here's what I know that makes after market shark fins it's beatsonic,Tom's, eBay brand. Hope it helps.

    I went with a Tom's JDM fin antenna. It comes painted with my 8T7 color.

    Nice choice. If I had to do a fin I would've done the same.

    I've also been shopping on there a very long time, since the time it was just alibaba. It used to be difficult to buy stuff in alibaba because it was mostly wholesale.

    Anyways, I have no previous experience with Tom's products so I can't determine if it's original or not. However if it is a fake it's a very good quality one, great color match, Japanese instructions, and a little bag including mounting hardware.

    The Tom's logo sticker is made from aluminium with adhesive backing, I decided not to use it.

    Radio reception has not changed when compared to the original antenna.

    Overall I'm happy with it, especially for the price
