make sure you try the radio before you put it back, in case you need to change the plugs

Depending what year your car is, an therefore the aerial connectors you can do what I did which was to just remove the white and biege aerial caps (they just unclip) and push the now bare plugs onto the back of the stereo. I have a link howling what I mean, will try dig it up for you- saves buying and adaptor and works perfectly

Edit

couldn't find the link, but found this picture - which although from the US shows the connectors. I had these, just took the plastic covers off so i can plug both the connectors in the back (as too tight with the plastic on which im sure you know), therefore not needing the adaptor  :happy2:

if you don't have a roof antenna, then you need the correct adaptor or you will get an Open circuit fault
