Hi all,
This may be an incredibly stupid question but.... how or where do you connect the blue wire from the powered aerial adaptor?

I've been trying to fit a JVC head unit into my Leon. Got the head unit connected to the car ok & everything was going swimmingly until I realised I couldn't connect the aerial. Did a bit research & went & bought a PC5-52 aerial adaptor from Halfords, read the instructions & tried to fit the blue wire into the block - 5th hole to match the blue & white wire from the head unit.

The terminal on the end of the wire doesn't seem to fit into the block & just falls out again? In the process of doing this I managed to snap the terminal off, but if I stick the bare wire into the block the radio reception is perfect, so it works & I'm guessing its the right place, it just won't stay in.

I went & bought another one & was very gentle this time, but its exactly the same problem, it won't stay in the block. I take it there's an easy solution to this but if someone could put it in simpleton terms I'd be very grateful.

I cut the end and connected it to a 12v feed.

Cut the spade terminal off the blue wire. you should have a remote/12v supply wire (normally blue) coming from your headunit. cut this wire and join it to the blue wire on the aerial adapter. job done!

Thanks for the replies, there's a blue wire with a white stripe from the head unit, I'll try connecting to that. Just as well I managed to snap the terminal off

As said that wire will be fine as it's the remote trigger wire generally used for an amp.
