wiring up antenna

[98TredSVT]

I bought my car without an antenna, there was a little plug in the antenna's hole. I just never got around to fixing this, I've been using CDs and my ipod but now I want the radio back. What is involved with wiring the antenna back up?

if the wiring is all there, you just screw it all back in and plug in the two connectors to make it work.

I don't see any wiring there. I bought it this way and have no idea what the previous guy did with the wiring.

Pictures always help when you're trying to ask for help.... :shrug:

All there is, is a hole where the antenna goes, no wiring anywhere, I supposed I'll have to run a wire all the way back to the back of the head unit. A pic won't help at all, my situation is real simple.

That's what I'm currently doing. Replacing my fixed antenna with a power one. When you get yourself a power antenna, make sure you get the two connectors and some wiring that go with it. There are 5 wires that you need to run to the head unit. There is a removable control module on the power antenna that I stuck in the glove box so that I had a shorter distance for the 5 wires. Then I just had to run 2 wires to the antenna motor in the trunk.

It's a little confusing but I've been using this thread to help me hook it up:
