Default Can someone Identify these wires from the head unit?

There are 2 antennae. Now I think the one they were suppose to attach was the smaller one because I had the adapter, they didn't use it and now I get crappy reception.

I think the brown is ground. Why would they have a seperate wire? And I wonder why the installers didn't use it.

Not 100% on this, but the smaller circular connector right next to the picture of the fan is the antenna lead. The other round one above it is most likey the CD changer connector (even if you don't have a changer, the wires are stil there). Orange one might be a ground (?)

Default I figured they got it backwards.

Too bad the CD is the same as a standard antenna connector.

Got a multi-meter? Do a continuity check on those ends and the end in the trunk for the changer end
