So I replaced my head unit today. What a PITA (I've got the MOST bus). No harness adapters that I could find so I basically had to hand wire everything.

Ordered an antenna adapter off Ebay and low and behold it arrived as I was doing the install. But....it doesn't fit. Anyone know where I can get the right sized adapter? Google usually brings up one similar to the one I got.


Got this adapter off Ebay. Other end is fine. This end is to big.



Here's my factory antenna cable (plugs into the back of a CDR23). Where can I get an adapter that fits this little guy?

Do you want to keep that connector for any reason? You could cut the coax and put a standard connector on it.

The Antenna adapters you need are probably this:
Amazon.com: Metra 40EU30 2002-Up VW/BMW/European Vehicle Antenna Adapter Cable Kit-Add CD with FM Modulator - 1 Each: Electronics

I say probably, because I got mine from a car audio installer, and they had no part numbers or labels on them; but these look right. for a CDR-23 it is not the scosche VWA-KB unit; that is for the CDR-220
