Antenna connector in trunk / boot

The car antenna connections I have dealt with in the past have all been the coax type. Is that not the case for this one?
Granted, the last car audio unit I replaced was in my 1999 Dodge Ram back in November 2001. Car audio technology has certainly been through several generations since then....

I ended up working with the antenna connector behind the radio when I installed my Bluetooth adapter. That adapter is able to output stereo sound for music (as opposed to phone output), and I installed a separate wired FM transmitter to carry that sound over a pretend radio station at a predefined frequency on the stock radio. I already had to work with some wiring under the arm rest (power, ground, phone mute and phone sound), so continuing the project with removing the radio/arm rest trim was not a huge deal.
Best of luck, keep us posted.

Barry, when I pulled back the carpet passenger side, above transmission tunnel under dashboard I was surprised at the "free" access it gave me to the back of the radio connectons. My mission that day was to find a mounting spot for a gooseneck extension (success) but I sure do remember thinking to myself "wow, if I ever need to get my hands on the back of the radio connectors this would be an easy way."
Give the carpet a yank, it just tucks back in, and see if the antenna connection is accessible. Hope it works for you.
