Default how do i hook up the antenna to my aftermarket head unit?

The tuner isnt working and i was wondering which wire comming from the car is the wire for the antenna? Does it hook up into RCA connections in the back of the head unit or is a single cable?
thanks.

Should be a single thick cable and you will need a adaptor.

I saw one a few days ago for $10.99 at a local car audio place here in the Tulsa area. It's not specifically for Audi, it listed VW, Audi, &amp; other European cars. Here's their info (maybe they'll mail you one, they're not the friendliest people, so I don't frequent there too often):

SoundWorld
123 E Okmulgee Ave
Muskogee, OK 74403
(918) 683-4901

Hope this helps!
