Default Just installed new Metra Power antenna, need proper antenna connector!!!

Like the title states, I just installed a new power antenna (Metra) and it comes with the same plug end as the antenna wire thats already in the car. I know someone's used this antenna, what connector do I need in order to mate the two antenna wires together??

Thanks,
Chris

Why not swap connectors from the old unit. It's not difficult to do and it will solve your problem

I had to make an adapter out of the old male connector and a new female connector and some solder, hot glue, and shrink wrap, because I didn't know they made any, but you can find them online. Look up "Metra GM antenna adapter" or something like that.
