Default Rear window antenna?



Anyone know what this is for? I'm presuming it's aftermarket, but is it an antenna for a TV (now removed) or the radio, or both? I'm in the process of removing the window tints and would like to do away with this if I can.

Also, is the parcel shelf easy to remove? As removing it should make removing the window tints easier.

Thanks in advance

Sounds about right then.

OEM antenna is part of the rear screen heater elements and has an amplifier (#7) in the LH "C" pillar.



Make sure the supply to this is connected to the power antenna feed when going aftermarket HU

Assuming it's a Newage, rear seat needs to come out followed by rear quarter trim and then the shelf.

Info in this workshop manual section.........
