• Q: How to replace the Antenna Cable for the digital radio on 2004 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: To replace the coaxial cable for your digital radio, first remove the right rear upper quarter trim panel and lower the rear of your headliner to reach the antenna/cable attachment. Change the antenna cable mastic patch/ tape at the roof then remove the antenna cable from the antenna base cable connector. Removal of antenna cable retainer from the rear header and removal of the cable from the dome lamp harness clips, make sure it is out of the space between the dome lamp harness and the upper quarter panel. Take one piece of wire or string to the end of the antenna cable and run it through the back shelf into the rear wheel house on its way to tweaking the right rear compartment trim panel. Deinstall the antennae cable from the digital radio receiver and remove the retainer from the receiver bracket. Removing the wire or string, remove the antenna cable as well. In installation, begin by fixing the antenna cable retainers to the receiver bracket and then attaching the antenna cable to the digital radio receiver. Using the wire or string from the removal process help you in pulling the new antenna cable through the rear shelf into passenger compartment and then install the right rear compartment trim panel and remove the wire or string. Route the antenna cable in-between the dome lamp harness and the upper quarter panel, and secure the antenna cable to the dome lamp harness clips, then the antenna cable retainer to the rear header. Finally, plug in the antenna cable with the antenna base cable connector, apply the mastic patch/tape to the roof, and reinstall the rear of the headliner as well as the right rear upper quarter trim panel.
