How do I splice antenna wire, install new 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.) I am installing an Audiovox FMM100 modulator in my 2002 Alero. It has a male antenna connector that outputs to the head unit, and a female jack that receives from the antenna source. The problem is, the headunit's antenna is HARDWIRED into the unit. Further, the other end of that same wire is a GM male jack that plugs into an antenna "box" adjacent to the car's in-window antenna grid. This situation requires one of the above solutions. Number 1 is preferable. ANY help is appreciated. |
