I'm still not understanding the red plug thing bro. You said you did some innovative shit? Could you explain that again?
See the blue connector from the stock antenna's motor? It plugged into another blue connector which came from the car's end. The blue connector from the car also houses 3 wires:
One is black (grounding wire, useless for conversion)
One is striped (yellow and green)
One is striped (red and white)
So basically you need to connect the red wire from the Shark antenna to either the yellow/green wire or red/white wire from the blue connector in order to power the Shark's amplifier.
Ahh ok just need to strip it and tie. Didnt understand your last post and thought you had to extend the wire or something to get it long enough to touch the blue connector on the car.
just cut the connection wire up the red wire from the shark II with a male connector and chuck a female connector onto either the yellow/green striped wire or white/red striped wire like mentioned vis versa....
The antenna came in the mail a week ago but farkk has melbourne weather been bad... haven't even had an hour of sunny weather to be able to hop in my boot to install the damn thing without worrying if it'll start pouring down and water + electricity = bad!
Got a question... in all the articles ive seen on how to install this, they just connect up the antenna and the wires that come out the bottom. My package came with another huge wire that has 4 plug thingies? ill post a pic up

pretty sure that wire is not necessary man.
the anntennas male end will connect into the female end which will be removed from your stock antenna..
the length provided off the shark II antenna should be enough without the extension...

Looks like you purchased the optional extension cable which no one else really does. It is not needed unless you wanna rip out your interior and route the wire all the way to your headunit for a straight plug-in (if you don't wanna cut up the red wire). Your choice really - neater connection vs less labour.
no man youve gotta put a male plug on either wire you end up cutting out of the 2 striped ones from the original connector and connect it into the connection on the red wire!
this im pretty sure is whaats know as the amp wire..
