Connector from antenna may look same size. Not good
enough. If the connector does not make good connection on
both center core AND outside shield, then the FM antenna does
not work properly. My dealer says that these add-on kits have
an adaptor to proper size the antenna lead. But since the
existing cable appears to be same (because the human did not
take measurements) then these connections to third party
radios can be spotty - intermittent.
