I've had my Pioneer P9300R wired up for a while now but I still can't work out what adapter I need for the radio aerial.

What did you guys use.

I presume it is a BMW 3 series one but there's more than one sort and they don't have any in Halfords to compare.

Please help.

I think the one on the back of the wave unit is classed as ISO, it is shallow and wide. I think it is a standard converter, my new stereo even came with one!

Maybe you could take your old head unit into halfords to compare??

Or try emailing the top people at Autoleads.co.uk:

Cheers Minty but the aerial lead isnt ISO coz I've already got that adapter and it doesn't fit.

I'll mail autoleads.

Halfords stock the adaptor you need (not an ISO adapter) - the adapter you need is a one piece affair with no fly-lead.

The male end is the old fashioned long central pin and long shank - the female end is short and wide to suit the MINI lead in the car.

Quite expensive at £5.99 considering what you get!

Silverstone have you got a part number or at least what car it's for. 3 Series?

I've been to Halfords and they haven't got one the correct shape in stock so I'll have to order. No help unless I know what I need to order.

Thanks

Ginge,

'fraid I binned the box with the part number on it yesterday, sorry!

The part is not vehicle specific, it is a very common part to convert Japanese (long/thin) to European (short/fat). It was hung on the racks with all the other aerial bits in the store.

My Alpine radio came with one as part of the fitting kit (which I lost! - hence having to buy another at Halfords). Sorry I can't be more helpful.

OK cheers Silverstone. I'll have to have another look.

the adaptor you want is a PC5-100 that is the one if the PC5-27 does not fit cos there are only the two types and its listed under New products summer 2001
I have some on order but autoleads are currently out of stock.
