When I hooked up my Alpine Cd Player in my car I came to a problem, my antenna wires dont hook up. Im sure most of you guys know this but the Stock one has two ends and the Cd player only allows for 1 end. How did everyone hook this up. Can I just combine the two ends ont eh stock wires and connect to a wire that will work with the Cd Player

I got it a lil while ago, so I dont think I can take it back. How did you cut the wires. I got a wire that will fit the unit because I bought an aftermarket antenna but ended up not needing it. Maybe radio will have a hook up. Or hopefully I can find a kit.

Nissan vehicles use an odd antenna connectordesigned specifically for Nissan radios only. Thisantenna connector will not fit into a new radio. Youwill need a Nissan “diversity” antenna adapterwhich converts the odd antenna connector over to astandard connector that will fit into your new radio.

I had exact same problem before. You don't have to cut anything. There's an adaptor you can buy. Check out this place. I got mine from here.
