Title: Aerial ?
Post by: BallsDeep on 26 December 2011, 19:39: Bought a car with this CD player inside, It's a kenwood KDC 7024, but there don't seem to be an aerial input? Looks like someones cut it off, does anyone know what I need to buy?

Thanks :smiley:

It is hard to see from the photo but yes looks like it has been chopped off, but it will be the other end.

If I cut that in half so it's only the female part and try crimple it back on to the end that's been cut, dya reckon that'd work?
