Hi all,

Hope this thread is still going.
I had to cut my stereo antenna cable, so need to reconnect with another cable.
I am unsure as the best way to do this as there seems to be differing views.
Do i crimp the cable or solder? Guy at Jaycar told me to solder but lots of comments on google say not to.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have attached image of cable.

TL;DR
Car stereo antenna cable
Crimps.

But you need the right size and type for the application.
The standard ones from auto shops may be too big for such a fine wire.

Strip, twist and tape will be good enough 😂
 
Went back to Jaycar, finally got some progress, managed to pick up some tiny buts with solder inside just join and heat and the joint solders for you problem solved, good solution for me as radio working fine now
