connectors for DAB car radio
The one on the radio is an SMB
The one one the cable is an FME
EBay is where I go, I?ve just checked plenty there.
That's right, piccies here
Thanks Radio Man and Andy. Necessary items now ordered.

pain in the arse pioneer have a male socket and not female like other radios
The aerial wire looks to have an FME connector on the end. The photo of the radio isn't enough to see what sort of connector that is. Does the list of specs in the radio manual tell you what it is called?
Once you know that, you just need to google FME to [whatever] converter and you should be able to mate one up to the other.

Useful link. Some on there I didn?t recognise by name.
You really didn?t think about that post, did you.
;-)
I was half-expecting bill's original to include a fakra type.
That is one I?ve seen but couldn?t name. The other is the Hirschmann.
Why on earth do they want to use what is a rather specialised connector? It's not as though they are short of space on the back of the radio. A tuppenny F would have been just as good.
Female is a receptacle in nature.
Some females would be offended by that description :-)
The old german one a friend had had an sma connection, but there do seem to be many no doubt completely incompatible ones about, perhaps an adaptor? Brian
Is fakra swearing? My Greek Aunty used to say it.

YES!

Not true females.
Microdot connectors used on accelerometers and microphones are very similar to SMA connectors.
yes I did most home dab RXs have female SMA but pioneer and other jap car equipment manufacturers have male SMA.....I sent for a splitter cable and was annoyed when it arrived with female SMA then I found out most car units have a male socket....so I was happy
