HU aerial connection problem

[peteh]

Hi all,

I have an annoying problem on my girlfriends smart (2002 passion) which I cannot seem to solve…

I have replaced the standard head unit with a Kenwood item from her previous car, when I fitted this I noticed the aerial connection on the HU was a male connection, the OE aerial lead is also a male connection therefore I have been scouring the internet for a female-female aerial adaptor to allow the aerial to be fitted but so far to no avail, any advice?

Thanks

Re: HU aerial connection problem

Can you post pics of the HU and Aerial lead? it'll be easier to see what you mean.

Re: HU aerial connection problem

it's either a DIN or an ISO connection



these are both the 'male' plugs (well the bottom is actually an ISO/DIN adaptor)

Maybe your head unit has a flying socket attached ?, instead of a chassis socket?

Hmm maybe it doest have an additional lead attached - will check this

The aerial lead looks like your first picture but on the back of the HU it also has a prong sticking out (male)
