Need help with DAB connection..

Post by twysta »

I've recently installed an aftermarket (Xtrons) head unit. I'm a complete noob with car electrics but I thought I'd give it a go and I managed to install everything correctly apart from the DAB! I had DAB factory installed, so I know that the aerial is obviously there. The head unit is DAB compatible. I've taken some pictures in the hope someone can tell what I'm doing wrong.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

The double plug is the FM antenna

The black plug in the DAB antenna

Youll need one like this:

for the aerial

and one like this:
