I purchased an Alpine IVA-W203 with the P1 navigation. I installed a SWI steering wheel adapter and that plugs into a headphone looking jack in the back. The P1 GPS antenna has the same looking jack but the GPS inlet on the radio looks like a small Co-axial input. Does anybody have any experience with this because the GPS antenna looks like the wrong plug but its base compatible with the W203. Im wondering if I got the wrong GPS Antenna or do I buy a y headphone connector and plug it into the same jack. Once again its an Alpine IVA-W203 and the navigation is an Alpine P1. Im wondering if there is an adapter that allows it to connect to the right GPS antenna port. Thanks in advance.

Must be some mistake here, I've never seen a GPS non-boosted antenna that didn't have the Fakra style co-axe plug.

Same here, you must have the wrong antenna.

I contacted the seller and he is sending the right Antenna out o me. I dont understand why a brand new P1 wouldnt have it already packaged unless it was robbed at the warehouse?? I have no Clue. Thanks for your guys help. Take Care.

These things are computer sorted, either Japan, Hungary or China. I would be very suspicious.
