Which Antenna To Connect To After Market Head Unit?

Just installed a new Head Unit and radio reception is not quite as good as OEM.

There are 2 antenna connections on the OEM Radio Module.

I used the typical antenna adapter for the smaller cable:


Should I also get this Aerial Adapter below?


Thank you.

I used the typical adapter (first one on your pics) and it is fine with my Pioneer.

Great! Thx for the reply. For some reason I get better

reception connecting to the one in the 2nd pic.

I guess for people doing this, try both.

If anyone has found a way to use BOTH antennas so we can have a True Diversity solution like OEM, please post how you did it.
