Problem is making ours work with theirs. There seems to be no way to connect the two together.

Should be able to join the 2 with a coax patch cable.

Used a chopped pack to the lines, think it looked better less bulk. also the pad lets me remove the seat without any trouble.
What brand tour pak is that? I like it!!!

It is one of the many knock offs that are done and on line.
Problem with them is the first thing you have to do is
replace the hinges and latches because they are not the best.
In looking at the cable , it has a cable with about four pins then plugs into the audio unit
under seat. Still trying to figure this one out. would love to put the antenna on the tour pack.
any picts or part numbers would be great, this would make a great heated garage winter project
to keep a winter mind working.
Shortleg0521,
My antenna is under the deck so I can't examine it. If memory serves, the antenna either screws onto a stud, or has a stud to screw into a female threaded base (a variation of the picture below). Inside of the HD trunk, the AM/FM has it's screw on attachment. You should be able to make a patch cable with screw on connectors on each end. Maybe start with a HD patch cable and modify the other end to attach to the B's mount ? Instead of trying to match up the proprietary Honda clip, try using the threaded mount as a connection point.
Maybe JimmyTee can chime in on how he connected his powered antenna. I don't know if he hooked it up to the Honda OEM head unit or one of his aftermarket units.
Been a little while but look at #12 in the parts illustration. The cable/wire that connect the "Audio Unit" to the antenna. You will see there is an end the unplugs from the antenna itself. There are adapters that this will plug into that have will have a different end on the the other side .Shortleg0521,

Like some featured on here.

I am not sure what adapter you will need, but you will need one that the end of #12 goes into and has whatever end you need for your particular antenna.
If in doubt, you could try this.

I don't know what adapter it was I used because I just happened to have one, but I think the one I had was to adapt a Kenwood to a Ford E250.
I actually don't remember if I am still using it or not. I have an aftermarket antenna now and the head unit is aftermarket.

Thanks my friend, never looked at it from than position.
Also the adapter that you showed looked like a way to go.
THANK YOU
You're most welcome my friend.
ths61 made me aware if this issue in a P.M. Glad I could help.
