Do we need an Antenna Adapter to hook up to an aftermarket stereo?

(just wondering cause we have that funky antenna)

Yes, and not only that, don't forget to hook up power for your antenna. I was getting crappy reception and couldn't figure out why, as usually the blue lead wire just runs the amp signal turn on, but with the antennas in the windows on the Armadas they need power to operate. So once I hooked up my antenna power, wow, it works!

Yeah, I know- Duh! Oh well, live and learn.
:D

OK I found the "power antenna wire" on the wiring harness. I will hook this up to the remote power turn on wire from the Pioneer Deck. Now .....

Can I get an antenna adapter at Best Buy or Circuit City ??

I'm sure Best Buy or Circuit City would have it. You're correct to just hook up the antenna power wire along with your amp turn on wire.
