Default Kenwood HD radio antenna wiring question?

So I recently got around to installing my Kenwood dnx9980hd and the HD radio fades in and out. I ended calling crutchfield and asked what was the problem. THey quickly identified that I had a blue cable coming out of the headunit labeled antenna Cont.. and that i needed to connect that wire to three of my original wire harness cables labeled white with red stripe, white with blue stipe, with black with white stripe. The problem is that we discovered that these wires are not visible and do not appear through the original wiring harness from the factory setup. The tech said that there should be a 7 pin connector however it is not there there are only two other plugs. with no such colors. THe wiring diagram shows these wires clearly but where are they? anyone find any answers/ solutions? (need the wires for the antenna booster to get away from the fading/ weak signal) keeping in mind I never had these issues with the oem setup and the ipod/ all other sources dont have this problem! 2000 GS300 without nak. without NAV
