You should be able to us either one. I'm currently using the one for the back but I'm going to be changing it to the one in the front window (the back ones hole is getting filled in)

and i think( not sure) you can only use the antenna on the back because of the plug in... unless you get a dif. plug in to connect to windshield antenna...dunno.. anyway, if you want radio you def. need the antenna.. i couldnt pick nothin up without it.

I had to replace the power antenna. I just got a stubby antenna (non-powered). Now when i goto turn on the stock radio, it just clicks (I can hear it turn on from the small thump fromt he speakers) but it wont' do anything else. The display doesn't show anything and no sound comes out of the speakers. I removed the whole antenna and relay. Does the radio require the relay to turn on properly?
