Radio Issue
I am sure this has already been addressed but I can not find my Antenna inside my vehicle.... Its a 05 4R Sport Edition. Have not made any changes its all stock. Only thing different is the 2 TV head rest in the back. It came like that. Any clue would greatly be appreciated. I need to find some way to have a better quality radio.

So do replace the glass or is there a way to take said antenna out of it.. I am also guessing since its back there that it could possibly be a breakage or something interfering with it between the window to the radio its self.

I've seen some run a new antenna wire but a breakage is possible but not likely

Is there like a way you can just put an external Antenna up. Just doesn't seem like that was a good idea. Even worse when I roll down the back window it makes the connection even worse barely hear anything other than white noise.

You can run a external one it was a good idea because it made the truck look cleaner and the antenna window doesn't roll down have you pulled the radio out yet to be sure the antenna isn't loose

Nope I haven't pulled it out was afraid it might break but I can give it a try. I understand the back passenger window doesn't roll down but the center rear one does and that's the one i was referring to as a worse signal.

This should be helpful
How to Remove the Navigation Head Unit from a 2003 Toyota 4Runner
My factory radio had amazing reception, not as great now because I only have one plugged in but still better than my '00 Silverado.
Both back windows are actually antennae, when you check the back of the radio make sure BOTH antenna plugs are in. There is a small one and larger one (maybe 1/4" and 3/8"?).

Compared to some vehicles...this is pretty simple...Just ONE bolt to remove the entire center console. Then it just snaps off. Disconnect the wires (although you don't have to) and then you have complete access to the radio.
