Remove all of the plastic trim from your trunk. Locate the hole on the left side of the trunk that leads to the power antenna. I can't remember if you can unplug the harness while the antenna is still installed or not, but in any case, unplug the harness by whatever means necessary. Use a multimeter, and with the ignition off and the key out of the ignition ground the black multimeter wire to the body of the car and with the red wire, test each wire to see which one gives a constant supply of 12v. I don't remember what color the supply wire is, but it should be a thicker gauge wire than the rest if I remember right. Good luck! All of the other wires are 12v signal wires (not designed to power anything) so make sure you don't accidentally tap off one of those. That's why it's important to have the key off, because with it on, there will be mutiple wires supplying 12v and you want just the supply wire.

As long as you don't pop the trunk at the same time that the antenna is going up and down it probably is no big deal to splice it. I'm not sure what the amp draw is for your trunk popper, though.
