I'm finally putting a radio in to replace the boombox I've been using in my 98 GS for the past 4 months (I know...tell me about it).

One of my good buddies is helping me out and asked me a question I couldn't answer when looking at the wires from the stock Nak system:

When installing an aftermarket head unit, what do I do with the two antenna wires...do I just use one of the antenna connectors and that's enough? Or is there some special type of adapter to bridge both antenna connectors into one?

Thanks for the help.

They are 2 different sizes. Not sure what the small one is for, but I attached the standard one to the HU and it works fine.

Regular size works fine. Don't worry about the small one

Okay, sweet. Thanks for the input!

The two wires for the antenna are for the diversity system. If one antenna picks up a stronger signal than the other, it will switch over automatically. Some of the high end units such as the Clarion DRX9255 and the McIntosh MX406 have this feature. Most don't.

Yeap, my headunit works fine without the two antennas hooked up.

Thanks for all the input!
