Harmony Audio 44PW22 Replacement Power Antenna for Toyota 82-85

In this review the Harmony Audio 44PW22 package is evaluated as a direct factory-style replacement antenna for Toyota Celica and Supra models from 1982 to 1985. The bottom line: this kit is for owners who want a straightforward, OEM-quality powered antenna swap that restores reception and appearance without custom work. The review focuses on fit, operation, and the included 12' extension cable, and explains why the fully automatic operation and multiple base options make the unit a practical replacement for the original factory radio powered antenna.

Key Features

• Factory replacement fit: Designed to match the original powered antenna footprint for Toyota Celica ST/GT and Supra models from 1982 to 1985 so it installs with minimal modification.
• Fully automatic operation: The 12 volt fully automatic mast raises and lowers with radio power for convenience and to mirror the factory behavior.
• Five adjustable base angles: Six mounting base options let the installer choose flush or a range of fixed angles to match the original antenna rake and mounting location.
• Stainless steel mast: A factory-grade finish mast resists corrosion and maintains the classic look appropriate for period vehicles.
• Complete kit with extension: Includes a 12' antenna extension cable that helps route connections when the original harness length is insufficient.
• Simple electrical hookup: Uses a three-wire connection with clear color coding for ground, switched power, and continuous fused battery feed.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at owners restoring or maintaining a Toyota Celica ST, Celica GT, Supra or GT-S from the 1982-1985 model years who want a like-for-like powered antenna instead of a manual or aftermarket stump. It is also suitable for DIY mechanics comfortable with basic under-fender clearance and three-wire electrical connections.

Drivers who need a universal or modern diversity antenna with active amplification should look elsewhere, as this is a period-correct powered mast meant to replicate original factory operation and appearance rather than provide advanced reception features.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit design and multiple mounting bases make installation adaptable to original mounting geometry.
• Fully automatic 12 volt operation restores the convenience of the factory radio powered antenna.
• Stainless steel 31' mast offers a factory-grade finish and better corrosion resistance than cheap plated units.
• Included 12' extension cable simplifies wiring when extra length is needed.

Cons

• Requires about 11.5' of under-fender clearance which may complicate installs in vehicles with tight inner fenders.
• Not a modern amplified or diversity antenna, so reception performance is similar to original factory levels rather than improved beyond stock.
