Hello, 

 

Getting the stock radio out and installing new pioneer head unit, ran into this. 

The aerial is a 2 core coax terminated on the radio’s printed circuit board directly…

 

I am wondering if anyone can shed some light how to go about conversion regarding the aerial connection. 

I haven’t seen the 2 cable set up - and googling shows it uses some signal booster or what-not…

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.

On my gen3, I just trimmed the other cable and used the standard aerial plug, works fine

Thanks for your reply, can you please elaborate further?

Which one is the "other" cable that you trimmed? Did tou trace the the going to antenna and the other going to the amplifier?

So no signal loss penalties with radio?
