Where to buy new antenna wire? HELP!
Guys, I messed up my 98 SLK230 antenna wire while I was installing a new cd player. The little pin where you would plug in the antenna into the adapter then into the cd receiver broke off! 
I need to buy a new wire and run it through the car! Does anybody know where I could get a new wire and if so, how I would run it through or where the other end of the wire is?!?! I hope it doesn't go to the amp and straight to the back of the car, but I don't know. Please HELP! Thanks!

Most stereo install places might be able to crimp a new end on the cable for you. Were you installing an aftermarket CD stacker that uses an RF interface in the antenna line?

Only 1 size that I know of.
I think it is a RJ8.
They are in the Telephone - TV accessories section off of the Electrical isle
at Home Depot.
Radio Shack also has them.
They also make a twist on one that does not need the crimper.
If you cant find the twist on one let me know I think I have one in the garage, I can send to you.
I could mail you my crimper but I don't know if I can trust you to send it back, lol.
Still not sure by your post if this is what you need.
Can you post a pic?
