I can't remember exactly what it looks like, but I don't remember a plug. Generally an antenna has two planes, the primary and a ground plane. The vehicle's body should act as the ground plane so your just dealing with the other plane (wave maybe). The wire is typically shielded meaning that the metal sheath is grounded and the center wire connects to the metal element in the antenna.

So what you have to do is figure out how to attach the center wire to the antenna element. As I recall you have a tape on di-polar antenna so the wire should attach in the center.
