Antenna adaptor

Hi everyone,

I installed my new head unit this moring and maybe I'm blind but I don't see where to plug the antenna adapter... It's a Scosche CRAB. My actual antenna don't fit in that thing. My car is 2008 Pontiac G5 with OEM Pioneer.

both of those are the same. just the scosche one doesn't have the outer cover. and they are a little more snug to put on

Here's a better picture of what I need. BAA20 Aftermarket Radio Antenna adapter for recent Ford, GM & Chrysler :: Car Stereos and components

And what I have. http://i.seimg.net/images/1990549/big/crab.jpg There's a pin in it.

thats exactly the same and the pin is supposed to be in it. they all have pins in them. Oh FYI best kits does not actually manufacture anything. they buy bstock parts from other vendors (scosche and metra) and sell them at a "discount"

Try it again. you have to make sure the pin is lined up which is more difficult without the little outer cover but once u get it lined up it will take a little bit of effort but it will plug in and work as expected. If you break the pin or it didnt come with the pin it wont work (worked at an audio shop for 4 years ive broken a few of those pins and reception is **** without it)

OK I'll take a look again. I should have missed something. It's my first installation.
