Okay so I am about to install a car stereo into my Rhino. The stereo comes with a harness that has various wires for power, ground, switched power and speakers. I can hook up all those just fine. My question is how do I hook up the antenna? There is a insulated copper wire labeled ANT, so what do I need to buy to hook this up? When I look up antennas for cars most have a "motorola" connector (at least I think that's what they're called). Anyways, TBH braintrust please help!

The "antenna" wire is actually for a power antenna. This wire gives the antenna power to raise up when you turn the radio on.
Look on the back side of the radio around where the plugs are for the power and speaker wires. There will be a round hole in the back that you plug the antenna wire into.Comment

Well I've got to add my .02 cents because I did this a few years ago. Don't even bother with the antenna, I can't tell you how many I've broken off driving through the thick stuff. Second, the green seatbelt light that gives you away when you're trying to hide from the county deputies makes a great source for your ignition (red) wire. You can see in my picture where I put a small toggle switch where it goes, that's between my constant (yellow) and the battery compartment so I can shut it when the utv is sitting so the batery doesn't slowly get drained. I got a marine kit with waterproof speakers and you can see one of the boxes I made in the footwell. I strongly recommend this project, it is a necessity if you need any help feel free to pm me.

Sweet thanks! I got the mount coming tomorrow I think. It looks just like yours but has cup holders that come off the bottom. I'll try and post some pictures when I have the chance to get the radio installed.Originally posted by gumbl3 View PostComment
