ALRIGHTY! I believe that I have stated this post on the forum before. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for this, released like in 04 for lack of and or poor antenna reception. It is the antenna coupler located right behind the passenger side door still plastic thingy, you can take it out by pulling it out, there is only like 2 clips on the 4 door models..
It literally says, "To fix, reconnect antenna line male end to antenna line female end, wrap in duct tape.

is that even you in the pictures? if not (or even if so) what is the point to this thread?

Goto a local stereo place and have them put a new connector on for like 10 bucks or something. Would cost you more to do it yourself because you'd have to buy the tool to do it.

1) learn to type coherent thoughts. I can't understand what the hell your talking about.

2) just go to a local radioshack and get the female Motorola Plug( http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102836) . Instructions as how to replace it are on the back of the package. Its not the end of the world. VERY EASY TO DO

OR

2b) remove the male end of the other wire, and solder the two together. Why bother have a disconnect in it?

ive never had any luck at connecting these types of wires together.

as for soldering and reconnecting the way ive tried it in the past was to strip the rubber back, and take the braided wire and twist that, do the same to the other end,
the i try to the the inner wire the same way and keep it separate, then connect the two inners to each other, and connect the outers to each other, then seal

this usually only works half ass after ive done this to anything

[worknprog.99]

if you never have luck why keep trying on YOUR car haha

[AleroDrime]

that experience on this type of wire was on a 91 Toyota celica

[AleroDrime]

Sorry, You attempted to fix something that wasn't broken?

You tried to take it apart, put it back together, then duct tape it, Even though it wasn't coming apart?
