It's a PIA to get to. Has a locking tag on the side against the fender.

If you look at the connectors on the side of the amp it's the same type, a little white button to press and it come off.

Dang, pulling the fuse in the trunk box (#14 if I recall) is awfully simple .

A little more work, but more elegant solution is wiring in a switch for it: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...antenna-24564/

Certainly the best way to go, and really very simple to do...even I managed it without undue strain .
