Have been reading through all the search facility on aerial connections and am after some clarification if possible?
Mine is a ‘97 mid-facelift CDX with no phone setup.
I currently run an Alpine aftermarket HU but have never had good reception from the radio so i suspect I have a damaged lead behind the dash as this sounds quite common. The roof aerial is good as I swapped it from my Astra Van a few years ago when trying to look into it then.
I have no aerial lead at all on the drivers side a-pillar unlike most. I have a grey coax on the passenger side a-pillar with a push-to-lock connection. Is this simply a different design for the DIN connection as in I will be able to put one of the DIN - ISO connector is its place and run a fresh cable?
Reason is that i am adding an Alpine DAB unit and this has an in and out for standard aerial as well as the DAB, so I was thinking of running from the A-pillar to the unit and then from the unit to the radio, all with new cabling.
