How to remove shark fin antenna off my 3rd gen

Tried removing had a hard time couldn’t do it dont want to brake it I just replaced my whole stereo unit I have the sr. I got it off a sr5, my radio is not working after I did the switch because I think I need the antenna too off the sr5 new stereo has radio and traffic and eco and apps as It did not have any of those features before on my old stereo so guessing it’s the antenna so it could work

 

The shark fin antenna part number is the same for the SR and SR5, so you don't have to replace that. Traffic comes from HD radio stations, if I remember correctly. If you can't receive those stations in your area, you won't get traffic. Eco would have to have some connection to your ECU/BCM, or some other computer. If you didn't have Eco before, it might be tough to add.

It's early, I'm tired, take all of this with a grain of salt.

 

I’ve never had eco and it worked perfectly as soon as connected it plug n play I’ve seen a forum about someone replacing it I’ll let you know today I have antenna already I believe it should work with new antenna they are different since stereo is different

 

I would double check the wiring. Did you have hd radio before the switch?

 

No

 

I just had normal radio before

 

This may work

only time i get HD radio stations, is when im at a high elevation, and the signal is strong, otherwise, forget it
