    Default Vectra C aerial help

    Aerial Info. Have a Vectra c 2008. Have problem with aerial, (the cable has snapped somewhere between the radio and aerial). Can anyone tell me if the signal is amplified at some stage or is a straight single aerial cable connection. I propose to run a new cable from the radio to the new aerial I will buy and would appreciate anyone's advice or previous knowledge. Thanks - George

    would assume its a straight through cable from the radio if your using a standard setup, but will stand corrected if i'm wrong.

    I beleve that the signal is amplified via the headunit itself (standard VX) as i had to buy a separate amplfier for my aftermarket one, so you should be able to just run some new cabling through

    If you have a Sharkfin type aerial then sometimes the amp is in the base of the antenna, with the exception of that - what Paul said,lol.
