The second antenna is for the second tuner inside the radio. Some radios have FM Diversity systems. There are 2 separate tuners, the one with the strongest signal is the one that gets to the audio system.

Just connect one of them and call it a day. Some vehicles have a larger plug on the primary antenna and a smaller one on the secondary antenna.

Back in the 1950s or so, they came out with FM, because they figured out that AM did not work all that good.
