All you need is the antenna and the relay, and 3 wires:

12V battery, 12V trigger signal from radio (or a manual switch if you prefer), and ground.

Re: want to add power antenna,whats needed?

If you find a Pwr antenna car, get the pices off of that.
The Relay is under the RH side of the dash...

From what i remember ( it has been a while )

IN to Relay
Pink goes from Radio to relay
Orange from Battery
Ground

OUT to Antenna
Black
Orange
Green

There has to be 3 wires to the antenna, one for ground, one to make it go up, and a third to make it go down.

The special relay reverses the + and - on the green wire so the motor can run both ways (up and down).
