Title: radio aerial in drivers footwell
Post by: rawsondsr on 19 August 2008, 16:34:32: which wire is it and where exactly is it?

ive had a good look, but am unsure, tried to pull the radio out again, even had an audio shop try with their more substanstial keys and they gave up and said try vx, which i'd rather not.

If you can't see it, post up a piccy of the footwell, and somebody will point it out :)

Why do you need to get to it?

You are going to have to get to the back of your head unit with a little adaptor care of Halfords --- if you are thinking of splicing in along the lead you are likely to open it up to all sorts of interference problems

Whilst you are quite correct that you should not cut and splice into any leads, there is actually an unpluggable joint in the drivers kickwell, and its much easier to plug into this using off the shelf adaptors than to try to lever out head unit and mess around with the fragile connector on the back that will almost certainly fall out when the new lead is plugged in.
