Thanks for info.
Thanks for the extra info. I had asked a few of the eBay sellers where the part was located and one of them said it was inside the left c-pillar. I hate taking that thing off as from what I understand it's virtually impossible without breaking the attachment tabs off.
I'm replacing the original head unit with one from Axxera that has a slide-out 7" monitor that works great with the original factory amp. So I'm going to start by trying a little experiment. I'm wondering if I abandon the factory antenna cable and run a new one that goes straight from the radio to the antenna, taking the "parasitic stopper" out of the mix. I bought an inexpensive radio antenna at O'Rielly's that I'll plug into the new radio and see what happens. I'll report on how it comes out.
