Does anyone know the type connector Pioneer uses? I recently bought this GPS/Cell antenna not realizing the GPS lead has an FME end on it (though now I read on the website that it does
). I need to find an adapter to connect it to my D1.
GPS connector questions
Bump. I haven't heard back from Pioneer yet. Anyone???
Do you absolutely have to use that antenna? I'm sure you could get one with the correct connector that's not quite as... conspicuous.
I like this one because it closely resembles a factory GM antenna, and it will allow me to consolidate my GPS and cell phone antennas into one. I really want to lose the glass mounted cell antenna and the GPS one stuck on the trunk lid. Plus, should I ever decide to run a car PC, it's got a lead for WiFi too.
There are still cell phones around that require an external antenna when used in a car? How old is that thing?
I have a one year old SonyEricsson W810i with the advanced in car kit. The kit has a cradle that holds and charges the phone. The cradle also has an opening to attach an external antenna lead for the best reception (and trust me, it really does work). Plus when wired properly, it mutes the AVIC-D1 when a call comes in, or is made. I like it better than bluetooth.
Well go figure that Pioneers "tech support" would be a bust. Started out on hold for 10 minutes last night, only to be asked if I could hold again after I asked my question. Guess what? She dumped me right back into the call queue only because they had just closed for the night. I called back today only to be told that they have nothing documented as to what type of connector the antenna has. Surely somewhere someone knows ![]()
Ignoring the plastic crap on it, the connector itself is an smb style plug.
Thanks, that helps quite a bit. After more Googling, I found this:

I'm waiting to see if they ship to the U.S. or not.
