    Antenna?

    A guy walked in a tattoo shop with a piece of paper with "Saliva" written on it. The tattoo guy asked the guy to double check his spelling and whether he meant "Sylvia." The customer refused and insisted that what's written on the paper is correct so he ended up with "Saliva" tattoo.

    Anthena seems to be a rock bank, a Google search yielded multiple YouTube videos.

    Athena should be self explanatory. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena"]Athena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]


    Antenna that's more like it. For the OP there are a few threads discussing anntena removal and replacement they have explinations and pics. Try using the Google seach block in the top right corner of the PC web page.

    OK so I spelled Anthena wrong, I thought it was something on the US Prius that we didn't have in the UK.
    But what's a rock bank ?
    Is it somewhere to save rocks ? LOL

    To the OP, I would guess that the three wires are, one for earth, one for the radio and the other one for the NAV or phone.

    To be fair, the OP spelled antenna wrong two different ways (in title and in the body of post).

    I noticed that but chose not to comment. I just marveled at duplicate misspellings each different. I would like to think it was a case of bad autocorrectotosis.

    Grab the anthena with your hand and turn anti-clockwise, it will unscrew.

    Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
    My life has been so settled and she's the reason
    Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
    But I get along
    She's just a girl, she's a bomb
    She's just a girl, she's a bomb
