They are not aerial sockets they are RCA outlets for a CD shuttle or AMP.

I don't think they are. I have a separate multi pin plug for the CD and the amp is separate too.
I believe they simply have 2 separate aerials, one on each rear window. Something about a better reception as you move around.

If they are aerial sockets it's called something like "diversity aerials", supposed to give improved reception.

That is what has been suggested although I assumed it was just the name of the stereo system as that is diversity too. Apparently one is fm and one am/fm. We shall see.
Thanks

One for AM and one for FM? I think the optimum length is different for each if I remember correctly what NikTheGeek said a while back. This threadmay or may not help: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/aerial-269935.html

I always connect up the radio and try the aerial in the one that gives the best reception on all AM/FM bands. Sometimes they use a second port to link into another device 8 track:fighting2: or sat nav (early types needed a aerial) FM does require a shorter aerial but will work on a AM one as well. So shame a picture wasn't posted as this could answer a thousand words.
