I thought the Coupes didnt have it but it looks like they do.

Thx for the tip Phil, I will have to do this for winter; can’t stand the  
retractable antenna getting stuck…

nice write up Phil! my head unit doesn’t take an adapter, so i was thinking of running a hardwire, straight from the antena to my deck. now, i don’t want to cut the wrong wire, and lose my rear deffoger. do you know, off hand, what color wire i should be looking for off the rear clip?

thanks, i’ll post if i am successful
