after many different attempts at making an adaptable coax piece for the proprietary Honda/Acura XM antenna coax lead termination, i've found, through the combination of multiple RF connector parts, a solution that will enable one to use their OEM XM Honda/Acura antenna on aftermarket tuners or receivers.

some Honda/Acura have a Single lead:


others have a Dual lead:


either way, it will be necessary to remove the connector housing to expose the actual connector jack inside:


once the connector housing is removed, the assembly of my parts can begin:


adapter cable terminated in a RA SMB plug for the majority of car docks and direct tuners, however i can terminate to whatever your tuner or car dock accepts:


copper collar and shrink tubing:


assembly:




then i place a shrink tubing sleeve over the connector body, shrink it with some heat, and you're done:


********
i also make a TRUE OEM Plug-and-Play version that simply requires you to unplug your antenna jack from the OEM XM Sat Tuner and plug it into my adapter cable, and it comes in two pieces- one for the adapter cable and the other, a 20 foot extension coax for interfacing with your aftermarket SAT receiver:





if anyone is interested in using their Honda/Acura OEM XM roof-mounted SAT antenna for their aftermarket tuner, please email me. Brian-
