    Iam looking to keep the standard radio but am after a radio bandwidth expander that will plug in. I notice the antenna connection on the radio is noy the norm for au. Any suggestions?

    The original radio is not very good and modern units are cheap and

    plentiful. Why would you want to keep that old clunker? If I remember rightly the original covered the full FM band, but broken into two separate sections.

    If you are concerned about the strange double aerial connection, try Search. There has been a bit of discussion about that on the Forum.

    There is a school of thought that recommends you keep both aerial connections, but in my view you simply cut the second one off an use a standard plug on the main wire. I have done that and my Pioneer setup works perfectly city or country.

    Cheers:zlove:

    Have a look at the other end where the aerial cable

    connects to aerial in the boot. Thats where I put my expander. It just fitted in and I wired the power to the boot light.
    Cheers!

    Band width Expander

    I installed one a couple of months ago, bought it from JB-Hi Fi. cost about $25.00 It's easy to install and matches up with Japanese connections for the aerial.

    I have purchased one and now with the feed back will be able to fit to the aerial end.

    Thanks anyway

    Connection to the Boot Light Wire

    Would be interested as where you tapped into the wire.
    Thanks

    I have a 2+2 which has a boot light in the rear drivers side panel

    just around the aerial. I simply spliced into the active wire. Any active source will do!
    Cheers!
