Removal of Antenna

I like listening to the local radio but something about the antenna being up bothers me. Anyone have a different setup? (besides xm and sirius)

There are two fm antennas. One is in the rear glass and the other is the power one. I installed a toggle switch on the power antenna wire behind the radio. Most of the time I get good recteption from the glass antenna but if i need better I just flip the switch.

The others should have it too. Check the owners manual for FM Diversity.

how do you unplug the antenna motor without having to take the head unit out?

can you unplug something near the the antenna motor from the trunk?
