Sharkfin aerial
Hi does anyone know if the tourer aerial should have both wires connected as I removed it to reseal and can only find the blue lead and have forgotten wether it should also have a lead connected to the purple connector.

I removed the rear of the headlining on my V8 ZTT and it also has just one wire connected so seems normal I wonder what the second connector is for maybe the radio on on an E46 bmw?

The connectors on the shark fin are Fakra standard connectors. If the look at them they have different profiles so that that can’t be accidental crossed. The blue one is for the go’s signal and the burgundy one is for a mobile phone. The phone 1 is not used on our cars, rover went a different way.

I’ve been doing a load of research on this to try and get my cars system back up and running. My shark fin had failed and not fully enamoured of putting a used one in. Found that there are loads of after market antennas out there with the Fakra connectors on or the SMB connector which is on the back of the sat nav drive.
