Connecting antenna to aftermarket deck

I searched this topic and couldnt find anything on it or didnt search hard enough. But heres my question:

For those of you who installed an after market deck how did you connect the antenna to the deck. Did you buy in adapter for it or what can be done?

This is on my deck to connect the antenna wire to.


These are the two wires left from the stock deck. I dont know which one is for the antenna and which is Aux.

ANy car stereo shop best buy or aywhere that does installs would have the adapter in stock. Also I would highly reccomend buying a metra 1721 harnes adapater instead of wiring your head unit directly..You also need to hook up the power antenna wire (blue wire on 1721 harness) otherwise radio rception will suck.

I have have the harness that connects the after market harness to the OEM harness. It just farther inside cause I didnt pull it out all the way. I didnt cut any wires.

So I went to best buy today and they told me the car was too new for them to have an adapter.
