I have a 2006 MCSS and I need to replace the radio antenna harness that plugs into the factory radio itself. How do I remove the old one and replace it with the new one? Where can you find the radio harness anymore, dealership saids it's a discontinued item now....any and all help/info greatly appreciated...tks in advance.

 

Probably this is going to be a junkyard item.

 

96z34man, yes I agree. I found a 07 mcss that still has the radio in it in the junkyard...just not sure how to remove the antenna cable part that plugs into the radio itself just yet. I don't know if I have to remove the entire dash cover or what...tks for the reply.

 

any help and/or info would be greatly appreciated....tia

 

any info on how to remove the top dash panel to replace the stereo radio antenna cable, or how the antenna cable is routed from the roof? any and all info greatly appreciated...tia

 

Good luck with that. There is a thread here on how to do it; unfortunately, it's useless to us because our A-pillar is different from the 00-05, and the guy who started the thread refuses to answer his PM's.

 

Thank You for the reply, I have no problem removing the dash trim or the dash itself. I am more worried about the air bag and sensor underneath it, I don't want it to go off in my face. I just need to replace the section under the top dash panel to the radio itself, I can get the harness from the yard, but I don't want to waste their dash just in case I may need some of it from the yard car again later.

 

Disconnect the battery and you are guaranteed not to have a deployment, unless you stick sharp objects into the inflator.

 

Anytime you're worried about the airbag deploying on you, I'd disconnect the battery too. Good advice.
