Car Alarms: commando fm-870, replacement antenna, fm antenna

Question
HELLO AGAIN

I EMAILED YOU YESTERDAY. MY ALARM WAS NOT RESPONDING TO ANY OF MY REMOTES.

AFTER CHECKING THE SYSTEM TODAY. I FOUND NO CUTS IN THE WIRE BUT THE 4 WIRE CLIP (ON THE SIDE OF THE ANTENNA) IS SLICED IN TWO EXPOSING THE 4 PINS TO VIEW. THE ANTENNA (FEMALE) PIN SOCKET LOOKS OK IT'S JUST THE (MALE) CABLE PIN SOCKET THATS SLICED IN TWO LIKE A SLICE OF BALONY!!!!

I'M IN THE PROCSESS OF GLUING IT WITH APOXY GLUE, IN THE MEANTIME,

1. HOW DO I GET MY HANDS ON A NEW CABLE? AT FIRST GLANCE, THAT'S WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE. I FOUND NO SUCH ANIMAL FOR SALE ON THE COMMANDO SITE EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT THE FM ANTENNA.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO, I REALLY WOULD APPRICIATE YOUR ADVISE.

THANKS A MILLION
TONY  

Answer
It should be a warrantied item.
Call Commando at 1 800 780-1409 and speak
with them directly. If it's not warrantied,
they still would be the place to get a replacement
antenna. Trying to fix the old one may
be inadequate to do the job, and may not
hold up. Get a new one, and don't worry about it.
