I would like to buy the bits I need now as I have some time to kill - I am in the US, but the car is 3500 miles away in the UK. I don't know what the connector for the windshield antenna looks like, but I do know that it is supposed to be used with some signal amplifier, which, after reading some other posts on here, I understand is junk. So I probably won't bother with it.

Does anyone have a picture of the connector in the windshield, or know of an adapter that would let me run it to to the stereo (just an early 70s Blaupunkt FM unit)?

I think I still have the connector I cut off mine. Idiot installer left it hanging above the dash. (I wasn't planning on using it anyway but it looked like crap laying on the dash ) Will post a pic when I find it.
