Hey Terminator, which one is the TV antenna? Is it the big black plug or the small silver one?

I've connected my Hualingan Radio antenna to the big black plug shown and it's giving very good results. I'm looking where to connect my TV antenna. Would you please help?

neither of the two plugs is a TV antenna - that is a radio module, and judging by the type of the pins on the big plug, it is an older radio. You have two antenna leads, probably due to the TMC receiver, which receives the traffic info.

The TV antennas, if they were installed from the factory, should be coming from the rear bumper, they are installed on the sides of the car, and will report to the TV module, "around the corner" on that picture - that area that is "hidden" by black plastic should house TV module with plugs on the side. On the TV module, there should be two antenna outlets.

Yeah, none of the two antennas in the picture are for TV, both are radio antennas.
