This is only used if your vehicle has a motorized antenna that pops up only when the radio is on, then retracts when the radio is off. A voltage is sent from the stereo through this wire to a relay which applied power to the antenna. If you don't need it the wire from the stereo should be capped off to prevent a short occurring if it were to ground out under the dash somehow.

How do you connect an amp to a stock stereo so that the amp turns on and off with the car not wasting the battery?
DO NOT go putting wires into your fuse box, this could cause problems in the future, if you have a power Antenna wire on the back for your radio, [Blue in Most cars, but refer to your cars manual.] Splice the REMOTE wire from your amp into the Power antenna wire OR if you dont have a power antenna wire. if your car has RAP [Retained accessory power, or your radio doesnt turn off until you open a door] its a good idea to use a 12V Accessory wire. any more questions just email me. Note : Many head units will only energize the power antenna wire when the radio is on and then deenergize it when you switch to cd. So your best bet is to just go with the accessory wire method described above.

the power antenna is located on right front. I jacked my car, and removed the right front wheel. Then there are some small screws which are keep the inner fender plastic. unscrew them.
