connect new antenna to old Blaupunkt
Member # 3497 ... HELP
[I'm US military in Europe.] I drive the 1970 911E Targa, the 911S Registry December 2025 Calendar 'centerfold', bought in 1972, Kentucky, restored by me, Pelican Parts and Performance Products during 1999-2002. I just replaced her heavily pitted (Nevada desert) windshield with the one from Porsche that has the antenna laminated inside the two glass laminations. I'm looking for how to connect that to my Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio. (too many "I's" by now) The windshield comes with a little round black rubber connector plug that is not the classic antenna connector. Single wire inside, I see no second, ground wire. The official Porsche dealer here [Belgium]dodges the issue: "no idea, radio is a factory installation we don't do." Does anyone have any idea about the connecting antenna wire? Where to find one? I would still have to splice it to the old style male radio input plug - no problem. Many thanks, WB wkbergman@gmail.com |

You’re going to laugh, but I had a car with an antenna in the windshield, but when it was replaced, it didn’t have the antenna. I bought a cheap extendable antenna and stuck it up underneath the dashboard and plugged it in the radio. It worked great.

Thanks!
Matter of fact, I do still have such a cheap antenna from when I replaced the rusted out LF fender, and didn't want to drill an antenna hole in it. I may have to go back to using that one. WB |
