Yes, but he stated that the antenna lead was hardwired to the head
unit, so that adapter would be useless to him.

Any 75-ohm coax would work for antenna wire. RG-6 and RG-59 come to
mind. The same stuff that cable TV uses. Also, you could replace all
antenna connection with "F" type connectors, male and female as
required (again, these are the same connectors as for cable TV).
Connectors and crimpers should be available at most electronics shops.
That would give you more reliable connections that the OEM antenna
connectors.

Hello,

I am wondering how I can either:

1) Cut an existing standard FM car antenna coax wire, and put a new set
of standard male/female Motorola antenna jacks onto the cut ends. So
instead of the wire being whole, it would be segmented along its
length. Can I buy a set of Motorola jacks, female and male? Further,
how do I install them onto the wire?

- or -

2) Build a length of standard FM car antenna wire that terminates in a
standard male Motorola connector on end, and a General Motors small
male connector on the other. (Wires that end in male-and-female are
commercially available, but not Motorola male-and-GM male.)
