dunks59 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This is probably a dumb question but i am trying to fit a Autodab adaptor into the car. Trim cam of easily but I can not release what i think is called a Fakra connector for the gps aerial. i though these just need to be squeezed and would then release. Frightened to break the connector so reluctant to start prising etc. Anybody can tell me how to release? Nearly forgot to mention its a 2010 Focus 1.6 Sport.

salsheikh Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Duncan, mine was a squeeze and release job. try a small screwdriver to see if the tab is wedged in and stuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunks59 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Do you mean squeeze the purple tab? Or does it slide? Thanks Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 squeeze and slide away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunks59 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Does this mean you do not pull back but move to one side whilst squeezing the tab? Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 the connector should like similar to this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC5-101-Fakra-Car-Aerial-Antenna-Adaptor-for-Ford-/400484754284?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item5d3ec0636c#ht_692wt_1010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 squeeze the tab and pull it away from you and it should come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunks59 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 The FM aerial just pulls off no problem. The GPS aerial is a bluey colour square connector with a small purple tab which I guess has to move to release the connector. Iam probably being quite thick but worried about damaging anything.

salsheikh Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 no mate its not being thick but being careful. you dont want to break it as you would require a new loom which is probably costly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
