I'm not sure what you mean, but anyway, if you're not prewired, you *don't have* wires for the antenna or mic in your harness. And the mic and antenna don't come with wiring. And getting it requires replacing the whole harness, which isn't going to happen.

Basically: if you aren't prewired, get the mic. Get some shielded twisted pair wire on ebay (about 18' I think) and some 3-pin .100" spaced female headers. You can make the mic wiring out of that. Then get a 2.4ghz duck antenna (rp-SMA, should be about $3), an SMB-RPSMA connector, and an SMB extension cord. If you search around, you can find that I've posted pictures of what I did using just this approach.
