Help! I have a Pioneer 12 disc player that connects to the car's antenna. It looked easy enough. Unplug the car's antenna from the radio and plug in the FM modulator unit, then plug the FM modulator into the radio. The problem--- My 2000 Ford Taurse doesn't have an antenna wire. Or one I can see. I think it switches over to the wiring harness some where under the dash? I can see "it" leaving the trunk in "coax", but still can't locate it anywhere. Can you help?

Go to the antenna in the rear for the module connection instead of at the deck.

It doesn't seem to be the same type of connection. Can you help there?

Just found out that you need an adaptor to make this work. Metra Part # 40-FD20 adator is what you need.

I found that adaptor. I now have everything working great. Thanks for your help! (I would have went quicker had I known the "true" radio was in the trunk!)
