Quality is outstanding though, as you'd expect from a Toyota part.
I suspect the easy solution is the mast you linked, but I don't know how much easier who who knows about quality or longevity. Want to do it twice?

What do you mean? The antenna doesn't require the corresponding headunit whatsoever, i used it with the OEM one for a month or so, unless im misremembering. The only difference between the two units is backlight color and ours having plugs for an amp and secondary antenna .Should take you maybe 30 minutes max to swap out the masts themselves, wouldn't exactly call that a "beast"
