    Perfect. I guess I get at it from inside the car. I was looking behind the carpet in the trunk area.

    Thanks.

    Be very careful taking that trim panel off. It's very easy to break the tabs. Remove the lights first to get a little access to the tabs and to be able to get your hand bekind the trim piece.

    Default IIRC on my '93 anyway... the white wire is ant amp power...

    ... or needs power from the head unit... mine wasn't connected to aftermarket H/U and poor reception, connected and much better.... HOWEVER, check wiring diagram for what the white wire does in bentleys and you'll maybe get better reception...., Rob.
