• Q: How to remove the radio antenna cable on 2009 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Begin the radio antenna cord removal by disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable. Begin by removing the footrest from the front floor followed by scuff plates from both front doors and side cowl trim boards (both left and right) before splitting open the front door Weather Strips (left and right). Move forward by eliminating the front pillar garnishes (LH and RH) and take away the instrument panel under tray when you have Pedal Type Parking Brake. Vehicle models with Lever Type Parking Brake need the instrument panel hole cover removal. The service sequence begins with removing the console upper rear panel sub-assembly (for Automatic and Manual Transmission on Separate Seat Type) before moving to remove the rear console box assembly (for Separate Seat Type) and instrument panel cup holder tray (for Automatic Transmission on Separate Seat Type) as well as the front console box (for Automatic and Manual Transmission on Separate and Bench Seat Types). Removed items include the air conditioner control assembly, radio receiver assembly followed by separating the hood lock control lever sub-assembly. Proceed with removing the No. 1 lower instrument panel finish panel and the instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly before moving on to the combination meter assembly and the instrument cluster center finish panel sub-assembly. After that remove the glove compartment door assembly and the instrument panel lower finish panel sub-assembly (RH) and the lower instrument panel (LH). Finish the removal sequence by taking off the instrument lower cover sub-assembly and the instrument side panel (RH). Take out the instrument panel sub-assembly after disabling the passenger Air Bag connector and then extract the instrument panel passenger Air Bag assembly. To complete the process dissolve the radio antenna cord sub-assembly by unclipping the 4 claws.
