OEM stereo wire harness - too short to reach OEM stereo

I had an after market stereo installed - car got broken into and stereo was stolen - I am putting my OEM stereo back in but OEM wire is too short to reach. I have fiddled w/ what I can and cannot get it to reach. its about 3 inches away when stereo is in the console.

Is there an extender that I can get to go from OEM wire plug to OEM stereo?

I tested before installing in my console and all works ok.

Re: OEM stereo wire harness - too short to reach OEM stereo

It the antenna is OEM it should reach. Was it cut at all? If it was cut your reception usually sucks, so I assume it wasnt cut if your reception is good. Make sure its not hung up on anything in the dash. Maybe the person who previously installed the other headunit fastened it somewhere and thats why its no longer able to reach. Check it out I am sure you can figure it out.
