Yeah, the whole unit with seperate relay and about 2 foot of leads.

Ive had cheapies before, Ã‚£20 - Ã‚£40, the fit is crap and they havnt lasted very long at all.

Plus I wanted a black one and all I could find near me was chrome stuff

If it's just the mast and an original Hirschmann ... they're a doddle to replace and don't cost that much. Then put in a cut out switch so that you raise it only when you listen to the radio.
