    that looks like F type you find on your home satellite box.   But in a miniature size  ?  you used to see this on OLD GPS stuff, I think your stuffed.  You often find SMB rubbish that's incompatible with those manufacturers use

    all car manu use fakra connectors these days - adapting between type ought to be so simple but I've never found any.... although SMB can be ground back and fits the fakra stuff with less security

    Where is the best place to fit due to heated front and rear screens?

    Rear quarter window would probably be best.
