I bought some of these to extend my aerial from the boot to where I fitted the DVB module - worked OK!
Ok but to connect to those plugs from the car, do I need plugs or jacks ?

They will just allow you to make up an adaptor. It would be much cheaper and simpler to just snip them off and fit a Shotgun (shogun?) F-plug.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Sorry, you need the jacks (suffering from brain fade!).

That's sure. But I like the idea of a clean, reversible operation. So I'm ready to spend some more bucks and time. Amazing what we can do for our cars...

Forgive my intrusion, I have Hi Line system with HK gear (not connected) and have fitted Seans DD without probs (so far) Now, I may go down the line of getting separate Dvb-t mpeg4 tuner from him. Would these adapters be any good to convert existing "mini push fit" antenna leads?

Sorry if this has been asked before

If you want to reuse the builtin TV antennas, then you have no choice - you really have to use the MPEG4 unit.

The MPEG4 unit requires that there be F-Plugs at the ends of the coax from the TV antennas.

I have documented how I fitted the F-plugs below. I have also documented how to get the HK working again with the DD, again linked to below.

Have fun putting these together, very small parts, easily lost!
But when done at least the original loom is unmodified. Harry is correct in saying that the more connections in a system can lead to degradation in signal. Mine seemed to work OK so with any luck so will yours!
