Hi, I've only had my rx7 for 2 months now so Im still a bit unexperienced with it needless to say.

I've already done pretty much all the "restoration" work I can think of. I have put in a new clutch, any seal that I could get to while the tranny was out, new vac lines, new fuel dampner, all new fluids, new belts, new hoses, new thermo, spark plugs, spark plug wires, cleaned and regrounded the grounds, etc etc etc... so now I have started to work on the things that aren't important but more are just annoyances.

It had the stock audio system in it of course so the speakers are shot and a bunch of bottons don't work on the radio. Im putting in a pioneer deh-p6000ub. I went ahead and ordered the the mounting brackets, wiring harness, and power antenae relay from crutchfield. When I pull the stock radio i noticed what looked like 2 antenae connections from the side of the radio going into the dash. When you pull them apart, the connections from the dash have one female and one male. I started looking at my aftermarket head unit and it only has one female antenae connection coming off of it.

Finally to my question, how am I suppose to hook it up if my new radio only has one connection? Is there an adapter I can buy?

Thanks

Yea you need an adapter to avoid hacking up your wires.

Something like this:

one of those is the one that goes up and down in the back, the other is an antenna built into the windshield, don't need it, don't worry about it, good job on the research about the relay and stuff though, most people don't know and get all lost and confused why power ant doesn't work

Thanks for the reply mike.

I actually ended up making up an adapter. I had some female to male antenae adapters laying around so I spliced them together. ( I made the adapter 30 minutes after I posted the thread)
