thanks

 

whats up dude? i work at circuti city in the car stereo installation dept umm... as long as you have the piece of metal that sits in the hole, that antenna will work.... if you dont, then it wont... the top of that antenna wont fit unless you ahve that piece.... if you dont, i would just go to a junkyard, or ask if anyone on here has a parts car that you can get the piece from... when u get it tho... u can ask me for help if u need it..... later man

 

thanks alot man yeah i got the piece it came with the car i jsut didnt get a motor and antenaa assemlby with it so does it mount by the mottor jsut screwing into the bolt which is stuckon theat metal piece?

 

You have to remove the inside panel to gain access (obviously). There are several screws that hold it in place. When you have it in your hand, it'll all make sense. That antenna should work with what you have. You may need to get a few miscellaneous screws, but that's easy enough.

 

does the painted metal piece which covers the hole in the body does it screw in or is it held there by the antenna? thanks

 

It screws in from the inside.

 

when you look at the round piece of metal.... the antennal will screw onto that... the top of the antenna should be like a bold... you unscrew tahtn, and put it through the piece of metal(the round piece thats part of the body).... chances are that the aftermarket antenna wont line up w/ the stock holes.... all you have to do is use some zip ties(nylon straps) to hold it in, and it should be fine... as long as it hold the antenna stationary, your good... other than that, its just hooking up power.... just use a volt meter, and check it.... keep the car off... and test the lines.... you shold have 3 wires..... one will be ground (0 volts at all times) the other will be either constant or switched(only on when the car is on)..... try testing them when the car is off... if you have 0 volts to all, then the car has to be on.... turn the car on... and shut off the radio... test the wire.... whicever one reads 12 volts is your switched/constant wire.... hook the black wire on the antenna up to ground.... hook the red or yellow(can be either or) to the 12 volt switched/constant.... and the third wire shoud read 12v only when the radio is on.... which will give it power,and make the antenna go up.... the third wire coming off of the antenna shold be blue.... hook that wire up to the one that have 12 volts only when the radio is on... if u have any more questions about it, just PM me, or im me on aim/aol.... xtremelude93.... alright., later bro, good luck
