I got tired of not being able to go wheelin and listen to the stereo with out worrying(?) about breaking my power antenna on a tree or something. So I pulled apart my dash and cut the dark blue "power antenna" wire and installed a toggle switch. The reception can get a little weak for a radio station but if you use a FM transmitter for your ipod it's perfect. And it helps block unwanted inter ference frome "off-airs".

 

i just unplugged mine as its broke

 

that makes 2 of us. I have XM radio so i just unplugged the whole plug from the wire and pushed the antenna down. If i have to use my FM radio for some reason i just get out of my truck and pull it up, but i rarely use it.
