Fav Feature abput your cb7

[JDMDriver]

How my CB is rare or possibly one of the rarest oem version.

One rare feature which I have not seen or heard that it has is an OEM integrated rear window antennae. It naturally comes with no power antennae and is just like the current accord euro (shaved antennae you may say except its OEM).

I wouldn't have believed it unless I'm an owner of it and can see it with my own eyes.

On top of that its 4ws of course (besides all the rest of the JDM only features)

Wait, wait, thats rare?!?! I have one!

[JDMDriver]

Really?!

Wow first I heard of it.

So yours doesnt have any antennae hole?

I believe its rare as all CB's I see have the antennae visible at the rear quarter.

The only ones that don't have it are the the ones intentionally shaved by the owner (as a modificiation not factory fitment).

I don't think any CB's came without the power antenna. Honda didn't start doing a stand alone integrated antenna until later.

[JDMDriver]

Same here, even the cd's had powered antennae's from what I see.

But I first saw Honda apply the integrated antennae system on the prelude. Rightfully so since the Prelude was the car honda applied its latest technology to till Honda found out the people in that market didnt appreciate it and cared more about price rather than what they got. So Honda just offered the latest on the nsx and priced it higher which got more recognition. Prelude is a most underated car in my opinion.

Sorry I digressed, but I do own a cb with no antennae and its oem.

CD coupes had an integrated antenna

Honda actually started the integrated antenna on the first gen legend, the only difference is that it still had a powered antenna. The head unit picked between which antenna had the best signal.

Ya I like that about the coupes, once they r poped open. The car looks real sporty. I don't think the tegs have that. Pretty sure anyways, don't y'all think if we had slanted winows like the dc tegra that will b kinda neat?

Didn't know a coupe had a hatch....lol... I was talking about the fact I love it's a wagon

The Prelude generation I saw them in first was the 2nd gen Prelude first released 1983. First gen Legends arrived 86. Prelude's pre dates the Legend from what I see, correct me if I'm wrong.

2nd gen preludes had no alternate power antennae to choose from.

sorry if I'm wong we didnt have cd coupes in Australia but I haven't seen it on a cb accord only on my cb. I dont think its a cd rear glass as I don't have a blocked off hole or any hole for the usual antennae. The glass is a perfect fit and looks as old as the rest of the vehicle.

No it hasn't antenna hole it also has a factory installed car phone antennae the back windshield

[JDMDriver]

Ok, well thats a surprise, since no one ever mentioned an optional factory car phone package avail for the cb before. I may be wrong.

I 'm surprised Honda would have a factory support for a mobile phone.

Back then mobiles are so expensive and uncommon that providing an oem glass to support aftermarket in car mobile phones may not be cost effective.

Good on you for having one as I do think its rare.

Thanks My grandparents owned the car before me and they said that the dealership installed the phone but the bill and the service is another company. My grandpa laughed when i brought it up of how awkward it was back then. He told me how pissed he would get when he would bang his knee against it when he rode in the pax seat. The antenna is still there but i took out all the hardware and put a power inverter in its place. I just can seem remove the antenna...i think it gives the car character

EDIT: It DOES have an antenna hole for the radio

My super shiny pop-up wind deflector in my sunroof. I finally fixed it (lubed it up and trimmed the rubber stripping) so now it pops up nice and tall even though its gonna get hidden by my moonroof visor, it's nice to know it works like I want it to.

I think we can say your rear windscreen is standard.

The antenna you are referring to is aftermarket (not Factory).

Most mobile phone antennaes at the time is stuck to the rear windscreen. A cable runs via the roof line connected to the antennae module internal anchor. The springy antennae is stuck on the external side (directly over the internal part with no physical connection in between).

What I have is no hole in the rear quarter fender and integrated antennae lines in the rear windscreen (not aftermarket). It looks similar to the current Accord Euro's (much like rear defroster lines but are not defrosters and live in the upper most part of the rear windscreen).

That is something which hasn't been mentioned in the forums I have read nor have seen on any Cb's before (both locally and in the internet).

It always starts and gets me to where I need to be. It is rust free and has pretty clean paint.
