Anyone know what these two cables are?
« on: 27 April 2009, 19:06 »
My aerial doesnt work at all, i was having a look under the glove box panel and these two wires dropped out.

Anyone know what they are? I figure one must be for a multi disc changer and the other *hopefully* one end of an aerial? The pic only half shows it but the one of the right hand side has quite a long cable.

Surely the one on the right is co-axial and should attach to your aerial or the back of a radio? (although i've not seen that fitment for a radio) Screw on cap on it makes me think that, plus aerials use co-ax.

Sounds like a good guess.

Anyone know the route the aerial cable runs?

That is 100% old wiring for a handsfree kit.
