I replaced the OEM antenna with another.  Its a squeezy kind of trip but it
can be done wthout removing the cluster...  at least I didn't.  You'll have
to remove the cover obviously so as to give you a view of what's going on.
I also removed the readio while I was doing the installation... and the
ashtray on the top of the dash too!

Good luck.
