Antenna conversion

[Col-GTSX]

Yopu know how the japs have a 2 prong antenna cable and we have one...

I saw in the forums that there was a convers aviable... Howver i cant find it...

Can you just cut it and put an Aussie plug on it to fit into head unit.... I dont listern to the radio much but it would be nice...

Any car audio shop should sell them eh! We have them at work for NZ$15

You can cut it and add the 'normal' end on, but you will notice there are two aerial wires going into the nissan aerial plug. You need to select the correct one. Its usually the wire with a small bit of rubber around it right at the base of the plug. If ya have a look you will see what I mean!

Also if you dont join it correctly, you will lose all reception.

personally i'd get the adapter...

if u cut it and screw up you's lost any chance of getting an adapter later... its also more professional...

[Chris Rogers]

For those who don't live around the corner from Chris the easiest adapter to find is the Aerpro AP348A which is available anywhere they sell Aerpro products.

Also, for the R32, not sure if R33/34s are the same. If your not using a Nissan adapter to wire the power and speakers for the new headunit, make sure you connect the power-antenna output (usually the blue wire) to the black/red wire in the centre pin of the factory headunit plug. This powers the factory antenna signal booster.

There is another black/red wire next to it but it's a speaker wire.

[Chris Rogers]

booster,

I'll ship these things via mail order so its not a problem

same goes for the early nissan harness adapters. (I'm a Aeropro dealer..)

good point in the antenna amp. I have found a LOT of people miss this one. FM works partially but AM won't.

yes that is right most audio place do sell the adaptor cause nissan maximas have the same set up .. but i must stress one think if you get you windows tinted make sure that you get non matalic film on rear screen because your fm antenna is in the rear screen .. and i tint cars for a living

[Col-GTSX]

Done and done.... Thanks to Chris i will have one this afternoon....

Its great that he lives close... Cause i have no car for a week (so cant pick it up) and i need this so i can use my ipod... Love it....

[gatty]

what to do if yours is cut off?

lol

[Chris Rogers]

solder a normal one on. dick smith or jaycar have them for $5-6 . best not to cut the original off though. makes the reception worse.

so if i have a japanese kenwood head unit that only picks up fm to 90.0 and am radio this type of adapter will let me pick up fm radio??? and will it be on the normal channels on there?? like say b105 will be on 105.3?? bcoz i heard they are set up to get u the station but ten numbers down the line so b105 will be 90.5?? but this couldnt be right hey??

[Col-GTSX]

The adapter does nothing for the reception changes... it simply converts the jap plug to an aussie plug... ie. I removed the original factory head unit and replaced it with a pioneer one.

[85URK]

my headnuit isnt a stock nissan 1, its an aftermarket japanese kenwood head unit, reasonably new aswell. just that it cant pick up any radio stations after 90.0 on fm frequency. the only thing i can lsten to is jjj and it sucks ass, or am radio. will this converter fix my problem or should i just get a new head unit that is australian spec??

[Col-GTSX]

new head unit....
