I have a 2001 suburban and the antennae broke off at carwash,I bought a new one but the wire wont work,will the wireless antennae I see one ebay work.I have the mast but can get the old lead to work in the new base Any suggestions how to get my radio back. Thanks Jimbo

 

Same thing happened on my '01 Burb. I bought the replacement part from the dealer, but installing the new one was going to be a huge PITA because the cable is one piece to the radio. I ended up paying a car audio place to install it. Think they charged me like $75.

 

The antenna mast unscrews from the base and you should be able to screw a new one on. They also make an adapter to plug the cable into the radio when the cables don't match.

 

I screwed the new part on but the cable doesn't fit in the new part.there is no way I can get the Antenae cable to the radio without pulling the whole dash apart. The old Antenae wire is loose
