While pulling out my aftermarket stereo out of a 1989 Honda Accord the antenna plug was left inside the stereo, but the cable was detached. The detached cable is black with a single strand coming out of it.

How do I fix this problem? Can I just reattach it by crimping it or something, or do I have to solder the connection.

What are my options, and the steps to take to solve this problem.

Thanks

You will need to reattach an end to the cable that you have left in the vehicle:

Does the connector just go over the wire, and I solder the wire to the tip of the plug? Or is there a way to connect it without soldering?

A couple car audio installation places told me that I need to replace the entire antenna. Is that the proper way to do it, or is it just an overkill.

You can just replace the end that was ripped off. No need to replace the whole cable. You can get different types of connectors where you do not need to solder anything, just a philips screw driver and a pair oc crimpers is all you need.

where might I be able to find the plugs that I don't need to solder because I am not that great at soldering.
