Hi mate welcome, not all but most radios use the aerial as an earth so won't work without it, but not all,
Find your earth wire from the ISO block then put it to the body and see if it comes on, make sure you scratch the paint off to get a good earth, hope this helps.

Its not a good idea to use the aerial as an earth, you should make sure that you have a proper connection from the ISO connector to the bodywork. I don't recall where the earth is on a Jimny, on a Vit its a wire down to the centre console.
