Gno idea, thought it would be in my haynes manual in the wiring section but as usual haynes has been about much use as a chocolate fireguard, had a quick peak on google and one person says it goes to the signal amplifier, and another says its an earth, so god knows, probably have to wait until one of the corsa boffins appears,

I think its an earth, but not 100% certain will try check later
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I would go with earth, there was a couple of wiring diagrams in the haynes manual depending on the year of your corsa but I only seen the signal amp being wired to the radio, display thingy and an earth point, never seen wires going to the aerial, although I am a bit of a cabbage lol

I spent my tea break looking through diagrams because its annoying me :lol:

Its either the wire that goes to the mfd should be red/grey at mfd and black/white at the radio

Or an old cable that was used for hooking up a phone to your corsa
