DISCUSSION:
All 2002 vehicles equipped with radios will have a new locking radio antenna connector. (Fig. 1) This connector will require that a sliding plastic collar be pulled away from the radio, similar to an air hose connector, to release the lock. Pulling the antenna straight out of the radio without activating the release could damage the antenna or the radio.
