Honestly you should not pull the radio. The factory amp/control box is in the rear drivers quarter panel ( I think the antenna actually plugs in there, key word is "think" ). Also honestly I would ditch the plug in fm modulator and go for one that will broadcast inside the car. They are easier to install and less likely to cause interference with the factory reception (especially am).
