So I have the first page and the page with the template on it... but didn't get the other two pictures with my new antenna. Does anyone have clearer pics of those two pics? This is my next project and I'm not really I want to tackle it with not-so-complete directions.

Keep in mind that these instruction appy to the factory-provided antenna, which is not what anyone is using now. The cutting template for the vent is OK, but just about everything else is wrong.

The antennas now provided have the relay built in, and have three colored wires from the antenna. . The holes on the bottom of the antenna will not match up with the mount in the car and will need to be re-drilled.

Black - connect to a good ground
(The heavy black Coax cable goes to the radio signal input)
Red - Connect to a good power source that's hot all the time, commonly the breaker for the power door locks.
Blue (or other odd color) - trigger wire, connect to the antenna trigger wire on the radio. In the OEM DeLorean wiring, this is the white wire from the radio to relay (which, if you have one, you should remove).
