Thanks for the reply. I only got this head unit so I could get the rs monitor, not too concerned about the phone side of things. Would like to know which connector I need to connect the aerial lead to the new stereo (the one in the 2nd pic).

Thanks for the reply. I only got this head unit so I could get the rs monitor, not too concerned about the phone side of things. Would like to know which connector I need to connect the aerial lead to the new stereo (the one in the 2nd pic).
When I fitted mine I also fitted a different aerial loom for GPS so wasn't an issue, im sure autoload will do an adapter...

It does, but seems very loose, doesn’t feel quite right, certainly don’t think it would stay put...
Yeah I tried removing the white clip, but it leaves this thicker metal part which can’t seem to be removed and the white clip won’t attach to thd new one
Mmm, that’s interesting, would make sense. The only thing I can’t work out, is how the white bit that’s fitted to the back of the stereo, would fit on mine, as there doesn’t appear to be anything for it to clip onto so it would stay in place?
(Really appreciate you taking the time to reply, and for all the pictures, it is helpful, so thanks!)
Just looking back at your pics did the aerial pull out out your old HU without the white bit? If so have you managed to get that off the old HU and pop it back on the aerial lead?
It could be that the old HU has a metal socket poking out and the new HU has a white plastic socket poking out, maybe it's this plastic bit that's missing from the new HU?
Where's did you get the HU from?
p.s. It's OK, bugs me stuff like this

I’ve taken the white bit off the old stereo, but haven’t tried attaching it to the aerial lead yet, will try that tomorrow.
I got the new HU from a breakers on ebay, I can contact them and ask them if they’ve got the white bit for the back of the stereo, but don’t hold out much help. (Interestingly, they’re selling another identical HU but that one doesn’t have the white bit either.
I could send it back, but It’s immaculate, so don’t want to go down that route as buying used parts off ebay can be a bit of a lottery....
Yeah I know what you mean, it took me three attempts to find a half decent one that wasn't covered in scratches.
Could the other one their advertising just be another pic of yours?
It might be they were a bit ham-fisted taking it out and just ragged the aerial out breaking the white bit off...

It's a fakra connector, type B me thinks... Type "fakra B plug" into Google, eBay etc.

I agree that looks like what I need, thanks. Still not sure how it would attach to the HU?
I don’t think the other one is the same, as it has got the matt black /grey fascia, not the glossy fascia like mine so think it is a different one.
The original plug housing most likely clipped into this square hole on the HU...
If I were you I would contact the seller and show them these photographs, you might get lucky and they find the white bit still attached to the end of the aerial loom? Otherwise I foresee some superglue appearing in your future...
