Re: Antenna Adapter PLEASE HELP

sorry it didnt help Mark. Does your JVC have the same antenna plugs as we do in the US? If it does, i wonder if youd be able to order it online somewhere and ship it over.

FWIW, heres my post in the audio forum thread:

that'll work great for the JVC. i bought the KD-LHX500. remember to use the RCA preouts, not the speaker level outputs. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ead.php?t=5916

Cheer for that if all else fails I will see if this is the one.

I've emailed Autoleads to see if they can match the one from crutchfields.com.

It appears that in the US we call it a Euro adapter but in the UK its called a BMW adapter. At least after looking at the site Scott posted, it sure looks like the BMW adapter is what you want.

Good luck and please post the results of your JVC install. I'm most interested in whether you use the existing speaker wires and harness or if you convert your speaker wires into RCA leads and use your pre-amp outputs as discussed in your other post here.

Re: Antenna Adapter PLEASE HELP

in the US, i used the pre-outs of the JVC and hooked them up to the harness adapter "speaker" connections, though i can remember if i used front or rear. it works great.
