Aerial amplifier

Can anyone tell me where the radio aerial amplifier gets its feed from. I have no power an as such no radio reception. Just in case anyone else is having a similar issue I linked into the main supply to the wiper motor with a 5amp in-line fuse. This is a temp fix while I find out where to start looking

I'm not sure this will help, but - When I first installed a new head unit, the Aerial amplifier did not power up because I did not connect the wires right. I had to make sure that the head unit wires to turn on 'power antenna' were connected on my schosche adapter. I had mistakenly thought that wire was used for those old-school antennas that disappeared into the fender when you powered off the stereo, and I did not connect it when I first did the install. Apparently the Aerial amplifier was triggered by the head unit being powered on and off (rather than the car being powered on and off). Once I connected that to the scosche adapter, the Aerial amplifier turned on and everything powered on.
