The BRZ HU sends the 12V power antenna signal out via pin #8 on the 10-pin power/speaker harness. You'll need to rig up an adapter harness (or at least, add a jumper wire from the vacant slot on your car's 10-pin plug to the factory pin/wire on your car's AM/FM antenna plug.
Theres a bar behind the head unit you can remove the antenna from the the bracket and use double sided tape or velcro to attach it there, or alternatively you can get an aftermarket antenna which tends to work just as good if not better but is also magnetic and will turn that bar into an extension of the antenna and it just sticks onto there. and works perfectly.
I only know this stuff because I really wanted navigation and settled on buying an entune module and updating my current head unit without the headache of repinning or rewiring things and get pandora on my head unit now, a decent navigation system and a bunch other features like weather and traffic.
