Can any power antenna be used (aftermarket ones specific for AUs) ... or does it need to be from Ford themselves????

I'm pretty sure an after market one will fit. Just take the old one to the store with you and compare the connector. Someone on here will definately know though.

Best thing I ever did when it comes to auto antenna's is get rid of them. Auto antenna's are only good for a couple of years and they break. Replace it with a standard antenna (about $30 from supercheap and they last forever) compare this to about $180 for an aftermarket one that will only last 3 years max.

I replaced my standard antenna with an electric one, and on my first trip away with it, it got hit by a bird and bent it. I talked to my brother about it and he said you can by replacement shafts and they only cost $30.

Yes they fit, but they will require some playing around to make them fit properly. Cheers

You know what we used to do with electric antenna's on the cabs? Unplug them!
We always just ran the aerials with the two thickest parts of the shaft up, the other little flimsy ones inside. Hardly ever had any troubles.

Cool ... good information here.
Mine just stays up all of the time ... has been for a while (even after I turn ACC off). I just haven't bothered looking at mine ... it's either a dead aerial ... or a connection has come loose.
