justgotast170 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Okay so I've now got my facia, Thanks "Sal", I've got my guide Thanks "Stoney". But I need some help with the new cabling and aerial. I believe I need the following parts listed below. Ford Roof Aerial Mast+DABPart Number: 1559265 Ford Roof Aerial Base+DABPart Number: 1559268 Ford Aerial Extension Cable+DABPart Number: 1671739 Ford Aerial Cable+DABPart Number: 1543284 Ford Adaptor PlatePart Number: 1547964 My Radio has 2 connections on the rear for the aerial one "Black" and one "White". So the new aerial base I presume has 2 connections which connect to the new aerial cables. ? Thanks daz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emzzy Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Daz I brought a Sony Dab of Sal and that has same connections as u mentioned, I just used the fakra adaptor for the dab port he mentioned to me and it worked a treat, as I have dab don't think I will need normal radio anytime soon. Not sure if that was any help mate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 you can either purchase a fakra adaptor off eBay or you can buy the wiring loom and dab aerial lot from me as i'm having to replace mine as it doesnt work as well with my pioneer dab unit so ive just paid out for a kinetic one. mine is the ford kit you have listed above with both the aerial connections.

Emzzy Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Daz, you will need two components the first is the fakra female to Din adaptor http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221297040712?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 The blue part goes into the top socket black hole (see photo)the into the other end you will need a din to ISo adaptor can be found: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=Din+to+iOS&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.XDin+to+iso&_nkw=Din+to+iso&_sacat=0 I brought mine from Halfrauds £5 and they lived up to their reputation ! I couldn't be bothered to wait for it in post. Plug that adapter into the black end of the fakra cable , then the wire that comes from ur car antenna which normally would go in the bottom hole (white hole) plug that into the din to iOS adapter which is in the fakra adapter. And abracadabra you should have DAB it's awesome, be warned I live in central London and get a decent amount of dab stations some ppl have had problems where they can only get one or two. I hope that makes sense any probs give us a shout!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frampy Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hi all, I'm planning to fit an AutoDAB unit to my 2008 Focus Titanium this week - currently it has the non DAB single CD Sony unit. Then to fit the Ford DAB aerial and cabling - someone on this forum mentioned the Ford aerial will work with the AutoDAB unit. I'm a bit woried about the radio ends of the Ford DAB aerial cables. Earlier ones seemed to have both a Fakra and ISO end whereas the later ones look like they have two ISO ends. I guess I can get round this with some adaptors. The AutoDAB unit needs an SMA connection anyway. So I'll need a Fakra to SMA or ISO to SMA adaptor I guess, depending on which Ford cables I get. Anyone able to shed any light on this? Sal, I'm wondering if you still want to sell your wiring loom and DAB aerial, I'd be interested. What ends do the aerial cables have?
