Sorry if this is really obvious. But ive got an amplified aerial adaptor for the car and the blue wire has what i assume is an ISO connector on the end. How do these actually fit?
How do ISO Connector Pins Work?

If that thing is an amplifier then it'll need some power. Does it not have instructions with it?
The plug (right hand circled pic) goes in the aerial socket in your car radio. The socket (left hand circled pic) gets the plug from the existing aerial stuffed into it. The blue wire (centre circled pic) probably goes to any convenient + supply, ideally AUX OUT of the radio (only powered when the radio is on) otherwise an accessory line from the car harness (only live when ignition is on)

The connector will/should fit into the car loom socket - in the right position.

I found there seems to be two standards where the permanent live and ignition live get swapped about, there is normally an electric aerial output from the radio however it needs careful reading of instructions as they are not all the same.

Thanks all.
It's this bit that confuses me. I assume the connector is for these blocks, however just not sure how. Those 16 holes you see on the pic plug into the back of the radio so they dont go in that side. Are they meant to squeeze in to the same slot as the blue wire from the other side? Is there even room to do so?
Instructions just say connect to 12v.
Guess i could just could that connector off and splice into the righ wire
ideally it should connect to that black plug, on the blue wire. (known as remote or Ant)
