Which wire is the 12V wire,im trying to hook up a new power antenna?

In assuming its the red one,but the antenna doesn't have instructions, but the website said it just needs to be hooked up the the 12V source that was going to the original antenna. The new antenna is a hidden one so the other wires shouldn't be needed..

Here is the pic of the plug that went to the old antenna

    you can hook it up to really anything. There is a blue wire coming out of the back of your cd player that is specifically for the antennae. Or you can hook it up to ground (any black wire or bolt the wire to metal)
