Great result
Can you use the black fakra case from your old aerial?

Hi Matt,
That was my thought but there is no retaining thingy to release the connector. I'll have to butcher it and see.

Here is the problem.
Photo one shows the two fakra connectors. The lower one is the new one and is in use. The upper one is the old connector. The difference is too great for me to use the old cover on the new connector. Photo two shows the two covers. The blue one is the cover from the new cable and does not fit the DAB radio (note the three location slots at NE, SE & NW). The damaged black one is from the old cable and does fit the DAB radio (note that this one only has two location slots at SW & NW). Note that the locking tabs are on the west of both covers in this photo. I had to damage the black old cover to remove it from the old cable. What I need is a cover to fit the new cable with two location slots (SW & NW). Hope that makes sense.

Sorry Del,
Spotted your query after I had posted my description. My new one is just like yours but has two location slots whilst yours has only one.

It looks like your new jack will fit to me, if it's the Neutral 'Water Blue' jack?

Just use Z water blue for everything as it is not keyed.

Matt,
That is the data that I needed. I need a black cover. If the water blue is what you want I could post it to you. Now to find someone that supplies the black cover.

The water blue is not really neutral.
To fit anything it would have to have four locating slots.

Go give that jack another fit Ray, try it alone without the cable. I'm convinced it will work as it looks Neutral to me.
