'93 D21 Stereo - both wires go to the antenna?

[HardbodyWorkTruck]

New guy here... '93 D21 king cab, 2.4 auto. Biggest question on my mind involves the stereo. It's a single DIN unit. The antenna has 2 wires plugging into the HU. Do both wires go to the antenna? this is the truck i use at work and without a radio, it's making my days long as heck. The clip for the antenna is broken, so i was gonna replace the antenna with one with a single wire for an aftermarket HU. i can't seem to get wires to line up right as-is to even get power to an aftermarket HU. any input is appreciated!

Dunno if these will help, but thought I'd take a stab at it. http://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts-li ... isual.html

Nissan used a weird antenna plug that had two center pins. There are actually two antennas, one on the fender, and one in the windshield... they call it "FM Diversity" I think. Anyhow, any stereo shop, ebay, best buy, etc. should have an adapter to get you to the standard plug.

You should also be able to buy an adapter plug for the other radio wiring.

I personally just get a plug that fits my Head Unit, and splice in the vehicle's harness for the sole reason that it will likely never be replaced by me. However, I do like the idea behind an adapter plug for the truck's harness so you don't have to get rid of the stock equipment. It's your preference, but I'd lean you into the adapter plug for later simplicity.
