Ignore the small antenna plug, its used for diversity / TV signals on Jap head units.

Make sure the 5V antenna trigger (pink wire on FTO loom) is connected to the stereo lead.

Hello Cj, I just read your reply yesterday and today I took cd player out and i seen two pink wires,
one was cut off from the loom and the other had a blue jack head type connector on it. I took the blue cable from the cd player jack that said ''power antenna'' on it
and bent the top of the silver contact and it slotted into the blue jack head,it stuck in perfectly, powered up the cd player and the aerial went up :D and switch works also
so thank you Cj for your help, i will attach a pic it may help some other ppl out
