its the one that will turn on your amps, and make your aerial go up and down.

what radio was in there before you started?

Okay, my car had a dodgy radio when I bought it, tuner is broken. But in trying to solve that I plugged in another radio and found that my car seems to have two aerials. The one in the fender, and another one that is part of the rear glass, similar to the demister wires.

Has anyone else noticed this? Which one do you plug into the radio, the fender aerial or the window one?
