There is a connection joint under the headliner near the antenna base on the roof, then a cable that runs toward the front of the car with an end near the radio unit itself
A simple continuity test will do, check for continuity from the antenna to the plug. Not much goes wrong with these though I would look at the plug connection at the back of the stereo sometimes they are loose and come apart.
Begin by removing the decorative cover from your 2001 Pontiac Bonneville radio. Remove the radio retaining screws. Slide the radio out and remove the wiring harness and the antenna cable.
Check the antenna connections. If that doesn't help, it may be a bad tuner.

Start of Chevy Astro cable replacement.I have a 2001 Chevy astro and have been able to lift up the grill on the side of the antenna using a star screwdriver. Underneath the grill the antenna mount removes with a socket wrench. On the end of the radio I have found that the part of the dashboard over the radio just pops off and then there are just a couple clips you push in on each side of the radio that let you slide the radio out. The antenna connection on the back of the radio is just a simple coaxial plug that pulls out. However, now my problem is that somewhere behind the dashboard the cable seems to be tied down to something and I cannot pull it out either end. My next attempt will be to try pushing something like a piece of wire down the hole from the antenna mount to see if I can get it to come out somewhere inside the van where I can grab it.

2001 vw beetle will not go into reverse
it is located in the trunk of your beetle
The antenna cable comes out of the back of the radio. Then runs along the inside of dashboard behind glove box, runs down behind right kick panel and then goes under the floor trim on inside of door (pry the panel up to see), then I believe it connects to the back window. The actual antenna is inside the glass.
Based on all of the information given in the question, it appears that a defect exists, perhapsan intermittent one, either in the radio, or in the antenna, power, or speaker wiring to it.
