Title: What's this connector called?
Post by: Steve_B on 17 October 2011, 20:07

Have got a beesting aerial i want to replace the current one but need to get some cable to connect it. My question is what's the name of this connector, am then hoping to be able to search for some aerial cable with the right connector.

Not sure on name but you can get adaptors to convert to a standard cable.

There happens to be a few of those connectors behind the fusebox that you dont need.  Dim dip resistor wiring.  Splits off from headlights. Yellow wire

That cable is the aerial cable that goes into the back of the radio.  You have an a socket for an extension co-ax cable rather that the normal one of these:

Just get some co-ax cable.
