you're in the wrong fourum but i'll help you anyway! strip off the outer rubber insulation of the cut antenna wire, this will expose an outer shield of wire and an inner white insulation that cover another strand of copper, do this on the other piece your're connecting to it as well, and connect the outer wires to the outer ones on the joining piece and the inner strand to the inner one both sets must be isolated from each other. cheers.

You will only need one of them. One was the "normal" antenna, the other was a screen antenna because the OEM radios had diversity tuning.

As howie said it had diversity tuning. So if you connect the wrong one, you will get good reception only at a stop. Next to nothing on the go. So then just do the other.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
