hi, im new here. i've had a jeep for several years and just bought a 2001 ranger xlt yesterday. i have a sirius radio that i want to put in, and i am going to use a fm modulator like this



my question is, does the factory radio have a standard size motorola antenna plug like this?



or is it a small one that requires an adapter? also, how do i go about removing the radio? does the black bezel just pop off with a little force? thanks in advance!

the plug on the back of my radio looks like that one.

If your radio is anything like mine, there will be two small holes on both sides. take a cloths hanger and do the following.

Once you have done that, take the u shaped wire and put it into the hoels on either side and push them in a ways and pull on the loops. The radio should come right out. If not, keep trying that way and you should get it sooner or later.
