Default Radio installation Quest?

I put in a new radio last weekend. The CD player sounds great but I can't get the antenna hooked up correctly. The old radio had a female plug that was plugged in from the antenna. My new radio has a single blue speaker wire type wire coming out of the radio. How do I hook this up so I can listen to the radio instead of just CDs?
Thanks

What radio did you get. That sounds like a power antenna lead, not the hookup form the antenna.

:iagree: That's your power antenna lead. If the new radio doesn't have an antenna wire coming out of the back, it will have an antenna hole in the back or side of the case where the cable will insert. Take a look - you'll find it.

the antenna wire should be quite thick (usually black) with about a half inch metal male connector on the end. there should be female connector on the radio usually in one of the corners on the back for it.
