Harmony Audio HA-44PW22 Jeep Cherokee Power Antenna Kit - OEM Fit

In this review of the Harmony Audio HA-44PW22 kit, the bottom line is simple: this package is for owners of Jeep Cherokee models from 1984 to 1996 who need a direct, factory-style replacement powered antenna and a convenient 12' extension. The reviewer found the combo delivers reliable automatic extension and retraction, a stainless steel mast that resists corrosion, and multiple mounting base angles to match original installations. This kit is most valuable to someone restoring a vehicle to OEM fit or replacing a worn powered antenna without modifying the radio or vehicle wiring.

Key Features

• Direct fit for Jeep Cherokee: Designed specifically to replace the factory powered antenna on Cherokee models 1984-1996, so installation aligns with original mounting points.
• Fully automatic operation: The 12 volt fully automatic motor raises and lowers the 31' 5-section mast automatically with radio power, restoring original convenience.
• Multiple base options: Six mounting base angle options let installers match the factory appearance and clearance needs without bending the mast.
• Stainless steel mast: Factory grade stainless finish helps resist rust and keeps the antenna looking stock for longer in varied weather.
• Extension cable included: The HA-ANTEXT12 12' antenna extension cable provides extra reach for tight routing or to replace a brittle original lead.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Jeep Cherokee owners doing a restoration, mechanical DIYers who prefer OEM-style replacements, and installers who want a powered antenna that hooks up to the existing radio wiring without complex adapters. The inclusion of multiple mounting angles makes it practical for vehicles with slightly different rockers or trim.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who want a modern short stub or shark-fin style antenna for aesthetics, and buyers needing an antenna for models outside the 1984-1996 Cherokee range because the fit and wiring are tailored to that generation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct OEM-compatible replacement that keeps original functionality and appearance.
• Fully automatic 12V motor restores convenient raise and lower operation tied to radio power.
• Sturdy stainless steel 5-section mast resists corrosion and looks factory correct.
• Includes a 12' extension cable to ease routing or replace worn leads.

Cons

• Powered antenna requires wiring to switched and constant 12V circuits, which may be more work than a passive replacement.
• The 31' mast length and motorized system are bulkier than compact aftermarket antenna alternatives.
