AXIS CR010 - AM/FM Antenna Extension 1M
1-metre Harada-compatible AM/FM antenna extension cable designed for extending factory car radio antenna connections where additional cable length is required between antenna and head unit, compatible with Harada antenna systems commonly fitted to Japanese and Australian-delivered vehicles, enables antenna relocation during dashboard modifications or aftermarket head unit installations requiring extended cable reach, suitable for vehicles with factory antenna mounting relocated during bull bar installation, roof rack additions, or body panel replacements, ideal for custom car audio installations, vehicle modifications requiring antenna repositioning, and any application where standard factory antenna cable length is insufficient to reach relocated head units or modified mounting positions.
Product Overview
The AXIS CR010 is a 1-metre antenna extension cable engineered for Harada antenna systems, the predominant factory antenna brand fitted to many Japanese-manufactured vehicles sold in Australia including Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, and Mitsubishi models. When installing aftermarket head units, relocating dashboards, or modifying vehicle bodywork, the factory antenna cable often becomes too short to reach the new head unit location. This extension cable provides the additional metre of length needed to bridge the gap between antenna base and relocated head unit without requiring complete antenna replacement. The Harada-compatible connectors ensure proper fitment with factory antenna systems maintaining signal quality for AM and FM radio reception. Common scenarios requiring extension cables include: installing double-DIN head units in vehicles originally fitted with single-DIN units requiring dashboard relocation, mounting head units in custom console locations, relocating antennas during bull bar installation where original fender mounting is obstructed, or routing antenna cables around newly installed equipment like UHF radios or amplifiers occupying original cable routing space.
Important Notes:
Harada System Specific: This extension is designed for Harada antenna systems. Verify your vehicle uses Harada antennas before purchasing.
1 Metre Length Only: Provides 1m additional reach. If you need more length, multiple extensions can be connected but signal degradation may occur.
Signal Quality: Each extension introduces slight signal loss. Minimize extensions where possible for optimal AM/FM reception.
Connector Compatibility: Ensure connectors match your specific Harada antenna configuration. Some models have different connector types.
Not Universal: This is NOT a universal antenna extension. It's specifically for Harada systems common in Japanese vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my vehicle has a Harada antenna system?
A: Check your vehicle's antenna base or consult your vehicle manual. Harada is common on Japanese-manufactured vehicles including many Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, and Mitsubishi models. If your antenna is factory-fitted and you drive a Japanese vehicle, there's good probability it's Harada. Alternatively, check the connector at the back of your head unit - compare with product images or bring photos to us for verification.
Q: Will this extension reduce my radio reception quality?
A: Yes, but minimally. Each extension introduces slight signal loss - typically 1-2dB per metre. For 1m extension, most users won't notice reception quality change in strong signal areas. In marginal reception areas (rural locations, underground car parks), you may experience slightly reduced clarity. Minimize extensions where possible and avoid connecting multiple extensions which compound signal loss.
Q: Can I connect multiple CR010 extensions together for longer reach?
A: Physically yes, but not recommended. Each additional extension increases signal loss. Two 1m extensions (2m total) will noticeably degrade AM reception, particularly affecting weaker stations. If you need more than 1m extension, consider relocating your head unit closer to antenna, or installing new antenna with longer factory cable.
Q: Will this work with my aftermarket head unit?
A: Yes, if your vehicle originally had a Harada antenna system. The extension goes between factory Harada antenna and any head unit (factory or aftermarket). The extension doesn't care about head unit brand - it simply extends the antenna cable. Ensure your aftermarket head unit has appropriate antenna input connector matching your vehicle's factory setup.
Q: Can I use this for amplified or powered antennas?
A: If your Harada antenna is powered (receives 12V from head unit for amplification), this extension should maintain power transmission. However, voltage drop over extensions may affect amplifier performance. Test before permanent installation to ensure powered antenna operates correctly. Most factory Harada antennas are passive and don't require power.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Q: Will this 3-metre extension reduce my radio reception quality?
A: Yes, longer extensions introduce more signal loss than shorter ones. A 3m extension typically causes 3-6dB signal loss depending on cable quality and frequency. In strong signal areas (metropolitan locations, near transmission towers), this loss is usually acceptable. In marginal reception areas (rural locations, valleys, underground car parks), you may experience noticeably reduced reception quality, particularly for weaker AM stations. Test reception after installation and consider relocating head unit closer to antenna if reception is unsatisfactory.
Q: Can I connect multiple extensions together for even longer reach?
A: Not recommended. Connecting multiple extensions compounds signal loss significantly. A 3m extension already introduces moderate signal degradation - adding another extension would likely result in poor reception, especially for AM radio. If 3m is insufficient, consider: (1) relocating your head unit closer to the antenna, (2) relocating your antenna closer to the head unit, or (3) installing a new antenna with longer factory cable.

Q: Will this 4-metre extension reduce my radio reception quality?
A: Yes, longer extensions introduce more signal loss than shorter ones. A 4m extension typically causes 4-8dB signal loss depending on cable quality and frequency. In strong signal areas (metropolitan locations, near transmission towers), this loss may be acceptable. In marginal reception areas (rural locations, valleys, underground car parks), you will likely experience noticeably reduced reception quality, particularly for weaker AM stations. Consider shorter extensions or antenna/head unit relocation if reception becomes unsatisfactory.
Q: Can I connect multiple extensions together for even longer reach?
A: Not recommended. Connecting multiple extensions compounds signal loss significantly. A 4m extension already introduces considerable signal degradation - adding another extension would likely result in poor or unusable reception, especially for AM radio. If 4m is insufficient, strongly consider: (1) relocating your head unit closer to the antenna, (2) relocating your antenna closer to the head unit, or (3) installing a new antenna with longer factory cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this kit include a UHF radio, or do I need to buy one separately?
A: This is an accessory kit only and does NOT include a UHF radio. You must have a compatible UH850 series UHF radio (sold separately) for this kit to function. The kit provides the Bluetooth connectivity components (headset, wireless PTT, dongle) that connect wirelessly to your existing UH850 series UHF radio enabling handsfree operation.
Q: How does the wireless PTT button work?
A: The wireless PTT button is a separate physical button you wear on your clothing, hold in your hand, or mount conveniently accessible. When you press the button, it wirelessly signals the Bluetooth dongle connected to your radio, which activates the radio's transmit function. You hear incoming audio through the Bluetooth headset, and when you want to transmit, press the wireless PTT button while speaking into the headset microphone. This eliminates needing to touch or access your radio.
Q: What is CVC noise reduction, and how effective is it?
A: CVC (Clear Voice Capture) is digital signal processing technology that actively monitors and filters background noise including wind, traffic sounds, machinery noise, and environmental interference. While your voice is transmitted clearly, ambient noise is suppressed. The effectiveness depends on noise levels - moderate background noise (traffic, light machinery) is filtered effectively, while extremely loud environments (heavy machinery, loud music) may still allow some noise through, though significantly reduced compared to headsets without CVC.
Q: Will this work with other UNIDEN UHF radios besides UH850 series?
A: No, the BT850 is designed specifically for UH850 series radios and includes the appropriate Bluetooth dongle for that series. Other UNIDEN UHF radio models (such as XTRAK 50) require their own specific Bluetooth accessory kits with compatible dongles. Using the wrong dongle may result in incompatibility. Verify you own a UH850 series radio before purchasing this kit.
Q: How long does it take to charge, and can I use it while charging?
A: Charging times vary by component - typically 1-2 hours for full charge of headset, wireless PTT, and Bluetooth dongle. While the headset may function during charging via USB-C cable, this tethers you to the charging source defeating the wireless advantage. For best results, charge all components fully before use, and recharge after work shifts or at the end of activity days to ensure full battery capacity for next use.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Heavy-duty blue ring terminals for high-current automotive connections
Product Overview
The OEX ACX3057BL insulated ring crimp terminals handle the serious current loads demanded by modern automotive electrical systems. Designed for 4.0mm² cable—the wire size commonly used for high-draw accessories like winches, inverters, and auxiliary battery connections—these 10.5mm internal diameter terminals fit M10 studs found on battery posts, starter motor terminals, alternator connections, and heavy-duty distribution blocks. The blue vinyl insulation instantly identifies these as 4.0mm² terminals, preventing dangerous mismatches when you're working with multiple wire gauges in complex power systems.
Each terminal features double crimp construction with separate crimps for the conductor and insulation, delivering both excellent electrical contact and mechanical strain relief. This matters when terminals face constant vibration from corrugations, thermal cycling under the bonnet, and the physical stress of high-amperage current flow. Tin-plated copper construction provides superior conductivity while resisting the corrosion that destroys electrical connections in Australian conditions—from coastal salt spray to inland dust and heat.
Supplied in a 14-piece pack, this quantity suits specific installations where you need multiple high-current connections: dual battery setups requiring several earth and positive terminations, custom switch panel builds with multiple power feeds, or maintaining a small inventory of the most critical terminal sizes without overstocking bulk quantities.
Key Specifications
Terminal type: Insulated ring (eyelet style)
Internal diameter: 10.5mm (suits M10 studs/bolts)
Wire size range: 4.0mm² conductor
Insulation colour: Blue (4.0mm² standard colour code)
Insulation material: Vinyl (PVC)
Terminal material: Tin-plated copper
Crimp style: Double crimp (conductor + insulation)
Pack quantity: 14 pieces
Warranty: One year manufacturer warranty
Features & Benefits
10.5mm Internal Diameter – Fits M10 studs and bolts, the size commonly used for battery terminals, starter motor connections, alternator B+ posts, and heavy-duty earth points. The full 360-degree contact around the stud provides maximum current-carrying capacity and vibration resistance—critical for high-amperage automotive connections that can't tolerate resistance or loosening.
4.0mm² Wire Capacity – Designed specifically for 4.0mm² cable, the wire size that handles 30-50+ amp continuous loads in 12V systems. This makes these terminals essential for winch installations, inverter power feeds, dual battery isolator connections, and any accessory drawing serious current where undersized wire creates voltage drop and heat issues.
Double Crimp Design – Separate crimps for the wire conductor and insulation jacket ensure proper electrical contact and strain relief. The conductor crimp creates low-resistance connection for efficient current flow, while the insulation crimp prevents wire flex fatigue at the terminal entry—particularly important in underbonnet installations where vibration and heat cycling cause premature failures in single-crimp terminals.
Tin-Plated Copper Construction – Copper delivers excellent conductivity with minimal voltage drop, while tin plating protects against oxidation and corrosion. In Australian conditions—from tropical humidity to outback dust and coastal salt exposure—tin plating significantly extends terminal life compared to bare copper, maintaining low-resistance connections over years of service.
Blue Colour Coding – The blue vinyl insulation follows industry-standard colour coding for 4.0mm² wire terminals, providing instant visual identification during installation and future maintenance. When you're troubleshooting an electrical system months after installation or another electrician needs to work on your wiring, that colour coding prevents dangerous terminal-to-wire mismatches.
14-Piece Pack Size – Targeted quantity for specific high-current installations without excessive inventory. Ideal for dual battery systems (requiring multiple positive and earth connections), custom electrical builds, or maintaining workshop stock of critical heavy-duty terminal sizes without bulk-pack expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
What crimping tool do I need for 4.0mm² terminals? Use a heavy-duty ratcheting crimp tool with dies sized for insulated terminals in the 4.0mm²/blue wire range. Quality tools ensure both conductor and insulation crimps close correctly with proper compression—standard automotive crimp tools may not have sufficient leverage for 4.0mm² wire, requiring professional-grade tools.
Can I use these for winch power connections? Yes, 4.0mm² wire and properly crimped ring terminals are standard for winch installations up to 12,000lb rating on short cable runs (under 3 metres from battery). For longer runs or higher-draw winches, verify wire sizing calculations account for voltage drop—you may require larger cable.
Will these fit standard car battery terminals? Most standard car batteries use larger terminal posts (typically requiring 13mm+ internal diameter ring terminals), but auxiliary batteries, distribution blocks, and some European battery designs use M10 studs where these 10.5mm terminals fit perfectly. Always verify stud size before purchasing.
Are these suitable for permanent underbonnet installation? Yes, tin-plated copper resists corrosion and vinyl insulation handles automotive temperature ranges. For maximum longevity in harsh environments, apply dielectric grease to connections, properly torque terminals to manufacturer specifications, and protect exposed connections with heatshrink tubing or terminal boots.
Can I connect 2.5mm² or 6.0mm² wire if I don't have the correct terminals? No—always match terminal size to wire gauge. Using oversized terminals on undersized wire creates poor crimps with high resistance and potential overheating. Using undersized terminals on oversized wire is impossible to crimp properly. Correct terminal-to-wire matching is essential for safe, reliable electrical connections.

Can I use these under the bonnet? Yes — the plastic material resists heat better than rubber and won't corrode like metal clips. Keep them away from direct exhaust manifold contact or extreme heat zones above 100°C.
How do I install P-clips? Drill a pilot hole in your mounting surface, position the cable in the clip, align the clip's mounting hole, and secure with a self-tapping screw, pop rivet, or machine screw depending on substrate.
Will these hold up on corrugated roads? Absolutely — the P-clip design clamps cables firmly to prevent movement. They're standard in 4WD auxiliary wiring and caravan installations where vibration is constant.
Why plastic instead of metal clips? Plastic won't corrode in marine or underbody environments, doesn't conduct electricity (preventing accidental shorts), and won't damage cable insulation through sharp edges like some metal clips can.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal for roadworthy certification in Australia? Yes — it meets ADR requirements for side marker lights on trailers and commercial vehicles. CTAITBA final certification is pending, but the unit is designed to Australian compliance standards.
Can I use this on both my caravan (12V) and truck trailer (24V)? Absolutely — the 12-24V range means one part number works across your entire fleet or mixed vehicle setup without needing separate inventory or voltage-specific versions.
How do I mount this marker light? It's designed for surface mounting with minimal profile. Drill mounting holes per the template (usually supplied), feed wires through, secure with screws, and connect to your marker light circuit.
Will the clear lens fade or yellow in the sun? No — polycarbonate lenses resist UV degradation far better than older amber/red plastic lenses. The colour comes from the LEDs themselves, not the lens material, maintaining brightness long-term.
What's the difference between this and cheaper marker lights? The 5-year warranty, stainless steel construction, ADR compliance, and LED Autolamps' proven quality. Cheap markers fail within 12-24 months from moisture ingress or LED failure, costing more in repeated replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories can I run with a 30A switch? Most LED light bars, spotlights, driving lights, auxiliary fans, water pumps, and air compressors. For loads over 25A continuous or inductive loads like winches, use this switch to trigger a relay instead.
Does the red light stay on when the switch is off? No — the LED illuminates only when the switch is in the ON position, providing clear status indication without draining your battery when accessories are off.
Will this fit my existing switch panel? If your panel has a 12mm hole, yes. Measure your existing cutout or check your panel specs. This is the standard size for most aftermarket automotive and marine rocker switches.
Can I use this in a marine environment? Yes — the switch is suitable for 12V marine applications, but ensure the installation location is protected from direct water spray. Consider using dielectric grease on terminals in high-moisture areas.
Do I need a relay for my 20A light bar? Not necessarily — the 30A rating handles a 20A load comfortably. However, if your light bar is mounted far from the switch or you want to reduce voltage drop, running a relay near the load is still good practice.
