guessing...

Red = constant power
White = switched power
Black = ground

^ Correct.

You need to find the corresponding wires on the plug that goes into the factory antenna.

Use a DMM (digital multimeter) to find the correct wires.

+12V constant. Hookup to the red wire on your new antenna.

+12V switched (only has +12V when the headunit is on). Hook this up to the white wire on your new antenna.

Black wire on new antenna = ground.
