Install a switch inline with your power antenna wire. You want to listen to the radio, flip the switch.

Find the writeup which uses the Traction control switch and plate. I can't find it now but I did it a bit different (because I have traction control) and got the convertable plate. Now I have two switches there. 1 for traction and 1 for the antenna. Nice and clean. Looks stock.

I'll see if I can find the link at home. Another nice little mod for anyone with big feet. Anyone know how they are always banging there toes on the plate below the steering wheel. Drill a small hole on each side and use 3 black zip ties (in a circle) around the steering column. Gained me a couple inches.
