as for the Antenna question

Search in this amazingly helpful forum for "antenna amplifier" and you'll find specifics on how to get to it. Under the right (passenger) side A pillar cover is where it is mounted. Check that there is +12vdc on the white wire with the key on. Note: that the white wire is also found in the multi-pin connector that plugs into the back of the radio, so you can check continuity if you remove the radio.

Take the radio out, again search in this forum for the how to. You need the radio removal tools (2) that slide into the sides of the radio and unlock it, letting you slide the radio out. The antenna plugs into the back of the radio and you can test a piece of wire plugged into the radio to see if you get reception.

If it's a simple "bad connection" fix, then you should be able to solve your antenna problem that way without major surgery.

Hope that helps.
