Help Please? Gs450H Radio Aerial Fitting/plug At The Head Unit Info Ne

[Connoisseur]

Hi,

Am looking to buy a DAB tuner box and display for my 2009 GS and would like if possible to hard wire the output from the DAB tuner into the Head Unit (HU) via the FM aerial input (apparently this is termed 'direct inject' as compared to getting the signal via an FM frequency transmission).

This means splicing the tuner output cable (Fakra?) into the HU FM aerial input but I don't know/ can't find info on the aerial lead input plug/socket arrangement on the rear of the GS HU.

Does the HU have a standard radio aerial iso input, or if not any info on what type of arrangement is used would be a great help?

All advice much appreciated

Mike

To answer my own question, in case it is of help to another member:

I now know that there is no coax FM/AM aerial feed to the HeadUnit in the GS450h. The rear screen diversity aerial coax feeds directly into the amp/tuner unit in the boot, which then sends a signal output to the head unit at the front.

Am not going to run two coax cables ot the rear to allow direct inject, esp. as am not sure it would be straightforward! Instead will try the FM transmit option, and if that doesn't work will feed the DAB unit output to the aux socket in the centre box.

My car has the Mark Levinson set up but I have found nothing to suggest the arrangement is any different in non ML cars.
