The cable runs in through behind the dash, it should be lurking around under the dash where the stereo somewhere if the cable is still attached to the aerial.

Is yours a samurai? Mine never had a pillar mounted Ariel, the standard one on mine mounts through the scuttle pan on the passenger side

Ok and yes it is a samurai. Just find it odd hows there is no previous ariel unless it was removed and repaired but doubt it.

You cant see it well but its the silver thing infront of the windscreen sticker, mine is electrically telescopic but I think standard ones were black rubber / plastic, does yours have a hole there?

I wouldn't use the pillar mount one personally, they never seem to be a tight fit and let water in.
