connecting an antenna plug

Thanks.....looks like these don't require soldering but still reshearching

yea im not sure how these actually connect but seeing as how the center core wire is so thin i cant see how else it could be connected because any type of screw or crimp connection would break the wire. but just so you know, i searched for "universal car antenna connector" the those were what it pulled up in case you want to do some more searching. the universal type connector is what fits into all aftermarket radios and also some car brands like ford and toyota use this style of antenna connector, so it will still fit into your old factory radio should you ever want to re install it.

here is a better picture of these connectors and it does show a hole in the tip for the wire to pass through, you will have to solder these connectors. that PDF under the picture on that page has instructions on how to install the connector.

have a jvc in it now & was that way when I bought the car...don't have the OEM stuff. I bought a extension cable...any way to connect this to my wire? Thought maybe connectors with a barrel fitting....just an idea. would be like connecting to cable TV wires together. The only problem I see is that the wire that I got is smaller than the OWM wire.

Thanks that pdf helps a lot....yes it needs soldering which only makes sense. What about my idea?....lol

the only way you can connect that extension to your broken cable is by using the method i told you about in the other thread you started where you asked about fixing your broken antenna. you will have to cut the end off of the extension and solder them together. im telling you, there is no way to avoid having to solder this connection to fix your antenna. it seems like you keep trying to make up ideas that dont need soldering and its just not going to happen. the universal connectors will be your best and easiest way to fix your problem. if you cant solder or dont have a soldering iron then just buy the connectors and pay a shop to install the connector for you.

Thanks for the help. I can solder & have the tool. I seen that method used somewhere & thought it might be a better connection that's all

it might work with a different type of coax that has a thicker core wire but this antenna wire is so thin and fragile that you cant use any kind of mechanical connection ( crimp on, screw on, twist on, etc) because it will break eventually.

Not a big deal...was just wondering. If I remember correctly you use compression fittings to go on the ends then a barrel connector.
