Replaced antenna, trying to finish the wiring

Ok so I replaced my factory antenna with an aftermarket on and basically I'm set to go other than getting it to retract and extend when the radio shuts off.
I removed the wires from the plug where the original antenna plugs in and it will either only retract or only extend. Recorded my results with the wires.
Red wire from the antenna is on Red-Black wire.

Blue-Yellow Extend
Blue-Red Extend
Pink-Blue Retract
White-Black Retract

One thing I did notice is when I touched it to the Blue-Yellow wires there was a clicking or something when it first touched but then it stopped.

Wondering If I have to connect two or if I have to go through the actual radio.

The radio should have either a blue/white or blue/yellow wire IIRC. I think that's your power antenna wire. I bought a wiring harness for my radio for my year supra at Best Buy and just hooked it up and it works fine.

I used the blue/yellow and the blue/pink wires (cause my new antenna only had a green and red wire) and it works perfect. The blue/yellow is your constant supply and blue/pink is your switched supply. Hope that helps.
