Should we remove the original one, remove the main antenna plug and attach it the wire to usb module board?

I haven't tried it with the car antenna yet, but I did hang a wire off of the stock antenna to confirm the concept.

Ideally you want to make a solid connection with the board, so I'll be soldering straight to it. I think I'll get a pigtail socket so that I don't actually tie myself to a specific antenna.

Finding a socket looks like it's gonna be an issue... Hmm. I've been through the normal big electronics depots. Gotta find the right search term.
