I know there are more elaborate solutions, however I simply pulled the fuse (passenger footwell) as I never liked the radio-controlled toy car look. 
I swapped out my OEM head unit for a double din NAV and I mostly listen to my iPod library vs. the radio. Even with the antenna down, I only lost a few stations and still easily lock in the more powerful local stations.
If I go on a long road trip and want to listen to local stations, I simply re-install the fuse which I keep in the glovebox with the owners manual.
