Here’s the info I had sent to the parts department when I ordered at the time:
I’m wondering if you ever tackled this problem?
I took the easy way out and I used the shortened cable with that particular antenna that you have mentioned and shoved it neatly placed it behind the new head unit when I installed it. I secured it with some 3M heavy-duty adhesive automotive great double-sided tape so that if it ever did bounce around and it would stick to inside that cavity and not make any noise. it works like a charm, no signal attenuation whatsoever.
Thanks for the reply.
Absolutely. It works 100% of the time all of the time I think that’s how the saying goes lol. It’s a pretty robust antenna and it’s made to go through a hard top so I have no qualms with it going through my thin dashboard and then through the glass which is essentially transparent as far as the signal was involved.
I’ve been searching this topic for months! I really appreciate your insight. Thank you.
Absolutely! That’s what we’re here for, to help each other out. Good luck, keep me posted.
Will the antenna plug striaght into the back of the 7? or do I need the cabel and the antenna?
