Yes — both the 4th-generation D-MAX (2019–2023) and MU-X (2019–2023) share the same platform and dashboard design. The SF9-IZ02 covers both body styles in a single fascia solution. Is the SF9-IZ02 compatible with Mazda BT-50 RG04 models? No — despite sharing the same mechanical platform, the Mazda BT-50 RG04 (2020–2023) has a completely different dashboard design. The correct fascia for the BT-50 RG04 is the SF9-MZ03. What additional components are required for a complete installation? A complete installation requires a 4th-gen Isuzu-specific wiring harness (Isuzu-to-ISO), antenna adaptor, steering wheel control interface, and reverse camera retention harness. All are sold separately — consult a professional installer or contact F.A.E. for a complete parts list specific to the vehicle's configuration. Will all factory D-MAX and MU-X functions be maintained? Physical climate controls, vents, and switches remain fully functional. Steering wheel controls and factory camera retain function through the appropriate retention harnesses. Some factory screen functions (vehicle settings, trip computer data) may require CAN-bus integration for continued access through the aftermarket head unit. Is professional installation recommended? Yes — the 4th-generation D-MAX and MU-X dashboard involves specific disassembly procedures, Isuzu factory integration harnesses, steering wheel control programming, and camera retention. Professional installation by a qualified car audio installer is recommended.

9-Inch Trapezoid Head Unit Fascia Mazda BT-50 RG04 Series (3rd Generation) 2020–2023. OEM Mazda Finish. Fascia Panel Only. Not Compatible with Previous BT-50 or Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X. Product Overview The Stinger SF9-MZ03 is a vehicle-specific 9-inch trapezoid head unit fascia designed exclusively for the Mazda BT-50 RG04 Series (3rd generation, 2020–2023). Although the RG04 BT-50 shares its mechanical platform with the Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X, the BT-50 features a completely distinct Mazda-designed dashboard with brand-specific styling, trim materials, and interior aesthetics the SF9-MZ03 is dedicated to this Mazda-specific dashboard and is not compatible with Isuzu D-MAX or MU-X models, which use the SF9-IZ02. Key Specifications Part number: SF9-MZ03 Brand: Stinger Product type: 9-inch trapezoid head unit fascia Compatible head unit format: 9-inch trapezoid only Finish: Mazda factory colour match with textured grain Vehicle: Mazda BT-50 RG04 Series (3rd generation) 2020–2023 Platform: Isuzu-based — Mazda-specific dashboard Confirmed compatible head units: Alpine INE-AW4095, Alpine INE-AX809, Kenwood DMX80AXS, Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT, Aerpro AM9X Not compatible with: BT-50 UR Series 2015–2019 (SF9-MZ02) / Isuzu D-MAX / Isuzu MU-X (SF9-IZ02) Includes: Fascia panel only Wiring harness: Not included — sold separately Antenna adaptor: Not included — sold separately SWC interface: Not included — sold separately Camera retention harness: Not included — sold separately Features & Benefits Exclusive RG04 BT-50 Fitment — Not Isuzu Compatible Although the BT-50 RG04 shares its mechanical underpinnings with the Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X, the Mazda dashboard is a completely independent design. The SF9-MZ03 is precision-moulded for the Mazda-specific dashboard layout, trim alignment, and brand finish — it will not fit the Isuzu dashboard. Third-Generation BT-50 Only — Not for UR Series The RG04 (2020–2023) and the previous UR Series (2015–2019) are completely different platforms with different dashboard architectures. The SF9-MZ02 covers the UR Series. Confirm the build year before purchasing. Mazda Factory Finish — Textured Grain Moulded to match the BT-50 RG04 factory dashboard finish including texture and grain pattern — integrating the head unit as a factory-matched dashboard component. Camera Retention Harness Required All 2020+ BT-50 RG04 models are equipped with a factory reverse camera. A camera retention harness must be purchased separately to maintain reverse camera functionality with the aftermarket head unit. CAN-Bus Integration Note Some BT-50 RG04 functions previously accessible through the factory screen (vehicle settings, trip computer) may require CAN-bus integration for continued access through the aftermarket head unit. Consult a professional installer for full feature compatibility specific to the vehicle's configuration.

No — despite sharing the same mechanical platform, the Mazda BT-50 RG04 and the Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X have completely different dashboard designs. The SF9-MZ03 is for the Mazda BT-50 RG04 only. Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X require the SF9-IZ02. What is the difference between the SF9-MZ02 and SF9-MZ03? The SF9-MZ02 is for the previous-generation BT-50 UR Series (2015–2019) built on the Ford Ranger platform. The SF9-MZ03 is for the current third-generation BT-50 RG04 Series (2020–2023) built on the Isuzu platform. The two generations have entirely different dashboard architectures and are not interchangeable. Does the SF9-MZ03 include a wiring harness or steering wheel control interface? No — the SF9-MZ03 is a fascia panel only. A Mazda BT-50 RG04-specific wiring harness, antenna adaptor, steering wheel control interface, and reverse camera retention harness are all required separately for a complete installation. Do all 2020–2023 Mazda BT-50 models have a factory reverse camera? Yes — all third-generation RG04 BT-50 models are equipped with a factory reverse camera. A camera retention harness is required to maintain reverse camera functionality after installing an aftermarket head unit. Is professional installation recommended for the SF9-MZ03? Yes — the BT-50 RG04 dashboard involves Mazda-specific disassembly procedures, multiple factory integration harnesses, steering wheel control programming, and camera retention. Professional installation by a qualified car audio installer is strongly recommended.

Universal 9-Inch to 10-Inch Trapezoid Expander Adapter Installs Between Fascia and Head Unit, Matte Black ABS Product Overview The Stinger SF9-9210 is a universal 9-inch to 10-inch trapezoid expander adapter panel — allowing a 10-inch trapezoid head unit to be installed into a 9-inch trapezoid fascia opening without requiring a dedicated 10-inch vehicle-specific fascia. It installs between the existing 9-inch fascia and the 10-inch head unit, bridging the dimensional difference between the two trapezoid sizes. Compatible with any 9-inch trapezoid fascia kit regardless of vehicle make or model. Confirmed compatible head units: Alpine INE-AW409S-10, Alpine INE-AX809-10, and Aerpro AM10X. Matte black ABS plastic construction. No tools required, no permanent modification, fully reversible. Key Specifications Part number: SF9-9210 Brand: Stinger Product type: 9-inch to 10-inch trapezoid expander adapter Function: Expands 9-inch trapezoid fascia opening to accept 10-inch trapezoid head unit Compatible with: Any 9-inch trapezoid fascia kit — universal Confirmed compatible head units: Alpine INE-AW409S-10, Alpine INE-AX809-10, Aerpro AM10X Material: Injection-moulded ABS plastic Finish: Matte black Tools required: None Mounting: Uses existing mounting hardware Permanent modification: None — fully reversible Features & Benefits Expands 9-Inch Fascia to Accept 10-Inch Head Unit Without this adapter, a 10-inch trapezoid head unit physically cannot fit through a 9-inch trapezoid fascia opening — the dimensional mismatch prevents installation. The SF9-9210 bridges this gap, creating the appropriate aperture, alignment, and mounting provisions for the larger head unit within the smaller fascia. Universal 9-Inch Trapezoid Fascia Compatibility Compatible with any vehicle fitted with a 9-inch trapezoid fascia kit — Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Suzuki, Volkswagen, Holden, and all other brands. One adapter serves the entire 9-inch trapezoid fascia range. Confirmed Compatible Head Units The SF9-9210 is specifically confirmed for: Alpine INE-AW409S-10, Alpine INE-AX809-10, and Aerpro AM10X. These represent the primary 10-inch trapezoid head unit options available in the Australian aftermarket. Cost-Effective Screen Size Upgrade Path Matte Black ABS — Professional Integration Precision-moulded in matte black ABS — fills the dimensional gap between the 9-inch fascia opening and the 10-inch head unit without exposed dashboard gaps or visible misalignment. No Tools, No Permanent Modification Installs between fascia and head unit using existing mounting hardware. Fully reversible — remove the adapter and 10-inch head unit to revert to a 9-inch head unit at any time.

Yes — the 10-inch head unit physically cannot fit through a 9-inch fascia opening without this adapter. The SF9-9210 expands the opening to create the correct aperture, alignment, and mounting for the 10-inch unit. Can the SF9-9210 be used in reverse to fit a 9-inch head unit into a 10-inch fascia? No — the SF9-9210 is an expander only. For fitting a 9-inch head unit into a 10-inch fascia opening, the SF9-1029 reducer adapter is required. Which 10-inch trapezoid head units are confirmed compatible? The SF9-9210 is confirmed compatible with Alpine INE-AW409S-10, Alpine INE-AX809-10, and Aerpro AM10X. For other 10-inch trapezoid head units not on this list, confirm compatibility with Stinger before purchasing. Is the SF9-9210 compatible with all vehicle makes and models? Yes — the SF9-9210 is universal across all vehicles where a 9-inch trapezoid fascia kit is installed. The vehicle must already have a 9-inch trapezoid fascia in place; the SF9-9210 does not replace that fascia. Can the SF9-9210 be purchased separately or does it come with certain fascia kits? The SF9-9210 is available as a standalone purchase. Some 9-inch trapezoid fascia kits may include an expansion panel; check the fascia kit contents before ordering to avoid duplication.

The SF9-927 fills the dimensional and geometric gap between the wider-at-top trapezoid opening and the standard rectangular double DIN format, allowing a standard double DIN head unit to be installed cleanly within an existing 9-inch trapezoid fascia. No tools required; no permanent modification to the fascia. Fully reversible the adapter can be removed and a 9-inch trapezoid head unit installed in its place at any time.

Reversible — No Permanent Modification The adapter installs within the trapezoid fascia without any permanent modification. To revert to a trapezoid head unit, remove the double DIN unit, extract the SF9-927, and install the trapezoid unit directly. The fascia is unchanged throughout.

No specialist tools or novel techniques required. Matte Black ABS Construction The matte black finish and ABS plastic construction provide a professional, neutral appearance that blends with the majority of vehicle interior trim colours and complements both OEM and aftermarket dashboard aesthetics.

The SF9-927 is universal — it fits within any 9-inch trapezoid fascia opening regardless of vehicle make, model, or year. The vehicle must have a 9-inch trapezoid fascia already installed. It does not work with 10-inch trapezoid fascias or without a trapezoid fascia in place. Will the SF9-927 affect my head unit's audio quality or features? No — the SF9-927 is a passive physical trim adapter containing no electronics. It does not intercept wiring or signals. All head unit features including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and audio quality operate identically as with any other installation method. Can I remove the SF9-927 later and install a trapezoid head unit? Yes — the SF9-927 installs within the trapezoid fascia without permanent modification. Remove the double DIN unit, extract the adapter, and install a 9-inch trapezoid head unit directly. The fascia is unchanged. Can I use the SF9-927 to install a single DIN head unit? The SF9-927 creates a standard double DIN (180mm × 100mm) aperture. Single DIN head units can be accommodated by combining the SF9-927 with a separate universal single-to-double DIN mounting sleeve or pocket kit. Contact F.A.E. for guidance on single DIN installation requirements. Does the SF9-927 work with 10-inch trapezoid fascias? No — the SF9-927 is designed for 9-inch trapezoid fascia openings only. 10-inch trapezoid fascias have a different opening size and are not compatible with this adapter.

Product Overview Premium 2 AWG copper battery cable lugs manufactured from 99.9% oxygen-free high conductivity copper with electro tin plating for superior corrosion resistance. Features inspection window for visual verification of proper cable insertion depth before crimping. Rated for 170 Amps maximum current capacity with wide operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Important Notes: Proper Crimping Tool Required: These lugs require hydraulic crimping tool or heavy-duty mechanical crimper designed for 2 AWG battery cable lugs. Standard plier-type crimpers or hammer crimpers produce inadequate connections causing high resistance, overheating, and connection failure. Proper crimping creates gas-tight cold-weld connection between copper lug and cable strands. Professional installers should use calibrated hydraulic crimper with dies specifically sized for 2 AWG lugs ensuring consistent, reliable crimps meeting electrical standards. Cable Preparation Critical: Strip cable insulation to length matching lug barrel (typically 15-20mm). Twist cable strands tightly before insertion to prevent fraying. Insert cable until copper strands visible through inspection window - if window remains empty, cable not inserted far enough for reliable crimp. Use wire brush to clean oxidation from cable strands before insertion. Apply electrical contact enhancer or anti-oxidant compound to bare copper before crimping for long-term reliability. Heat Shrink Insulation Recommended: After crimping, cover exposed copper and crimp barrel with adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing rated for automotive temperatures. This prevents corrosion, provides mechanical strain relief, and insulates connection preventing accidental shorts. Standard 3:1 heat shrink in 12-15mm diameter suitable for 2 AWG lugs. Marine and underbody installations require dual-wall adhesive heat shrink for maximum moisture protection. Torque Specifications Matter: When bolting lug to terminal, use proper torque preventing under-tightening (poor connection, high resistance) or over-tightening (damaged threads, cracked lug). Typical torque for M8 bolts: 10-12 Nm (89-106 in-lbs). Use star/lock washers preventing vibration loosening. Apply electrical contact grease to bolt threads and terminal interface reducing corrosion and improving conductivity. Current Rating Considerations: 170 Amp maximum rating applies to properly crimped connections using quality 2 AWG copper cable in free-air conditions. Actual safe continuous current depends on cable length, ambient temperature, insulation type, and bundling with other cables. For car audio: 170A suitable for systems up to approximately 2000W RMS.

A: Proper crimping requires hydraulic crimping tool or heavy-duty mechanical crimper with dies specifically sized for 2 AWG battery lugs. Process: (1) Strip cable insulation 15-20mm exposing copper strands, (2) Twist strands tightly, clean with wire brush, (3) Insert cable into lug barrel until copper strands visible through inspection window, (4) Position crimper die centered on barrel crimp area, (5) Apply full hydraulic pressure or complete mechanical crimp cycle, (6) Verify crimp created visible indentation around entire barrel circumference, (7) Perform pull test - properly crimped lug should not slide off cable with firm pulling. Never use plier-type or hammer crimpers - these produce inadequate connections causing high resistance and overheating under load. Q: What cable size is 2 AWG and what can I use it for? A: 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge), also called 2 B&S (Australian), is heavy-gauge automotive cable approximately 6.5mm diameter (conductor only, excluding insulation). Current capacity: approximately 170-190 Amps in free air, 130-150 Amps in typical automotive installations. Common applications: main battery cables for high-output alternators, car audio amplifiers 1500-2500W RMS, dual-battery isolator systems, inverter power cables up to 2000W, winch power cables, auxiliary lighting circuits. For car audio: use 2 AWG for amplifiers drawing 120-150A maximum current, or when cable runs exceed 5 meters requiring reduced voltage drop. Q: Why is the inspection window important? A: The inspection window allows visual verification that cable has been inserted to proper depth before crimping. If cable not inserted far enough, crimp only compresses on cable insulation or partial conductor, creating high-resistance connection that overheats under load and fails prematurely. Proper insertion shows copper strands visible through window, confirming full engagement between cable and lug barrel. This simple visual check prevents most common installation errors causing electrical problems, voltage drop, and connection failures in high-current systems. Always verify window shows copper before crimping. Q: Do I need heat shrink and what size should I use? A: Yes, heat shrink tubing is essential for professional installations. Heat shrink provides: (1) Corrosion protection sealing crimped connection from moisture and contaminants, (2) Mechanical strain relief preventing cable flexing at crimp point, (3) Electrical insulation preventing accidental shorts. Use 3:1 shrink ratio adhesive-lined heat shrink, 12-15mm diameter for 2 AWG lugs. Length: extend heat shrink to cover entire lug barrel plus 10-20mm of cable insulation. For marine, underbody, or engine bay installations, use dual-wall adhesive heat shrink for maximum moisture protection. Apply heat evenly with heat gun until adhesive melts and seeps from ends indicating complete seal. Q: Can I solder these lugs instead of crimping? A: No, never solder battery cable lugs intended for crimping. Reasons: (1) Solder melts at 180-250°C - well below lug's 155°C operating limit but achievable in high-resistance connections or engine bay heat, (2) Solder wicks into cable strands reducing flexibility and creating stress concentration points causing cable breakage, (3) Solder has higher resistance than crimped copper-to-copper contact reducing current capacity, (4) Automotive vibration causes work-hardened solder joints to crack and fail, (5) Soldered connections impossible to inspect for quality without destructive testing. Proper hydraulic crimping creates superior gas-tight cold-weld connection exceeding solder joint strength and conductivity. Crimping is the only approved method for automotive battery cable terminations.

Technical Specifications Specification Details Brand AXIS Model AW-NMO3 SKU AW-NMO3 Product Type Flexi-Dipole Antenna Whip Base Mount Type NMO (New Motorola) Frequency 477MHz Length 342mm Antenna Type Flexi-Dipole Loading Type Centre-Loaded Construction Flexible Connector Type NMO Thread Applications UHF CB Radio, Commercial Radio, Emergency Services Mounting Requires NMO Base Mount Suitable Vehicles 4WD, Commercial Vehicles, Emergency Vehicles, Agricultural Equipment Weather Resistance UV and Moisture Resistant Impact Resistance Flexible Design Operating Environment Australian Outback Conditions Warranty Standard Manufacturer Warranty Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will this antenna work by itself, or do I need other components? A: This is an antenna whip ONLY and requires an existing NMO base mount installed on your vehicle. The NMO base mount includes the coaxial cable connection, mounting hardware, and ground plane contact. If you don't already have an NMO base mount on your vehicle, you'll need to purchase and install one separately before this whip will function. The whip simply screws onto the NMO base - once the base is installed with proper coaxial cable to your UHF radio, swapping antenna whips takes seconds without tools. Q: What's the difference between this flexi-dipole and a rigid antenna? A: Flexi-dipole antennas bend when impacted by branches, car wash brushes, or low obstacles, then return to vertical position. Rigid antennas break or permanently bend under similar impacts requiring replacement. The trade-off is flexi-dipoles typically have slightly lower gain than optimized rigid antennas, but the durability advantage is significant for off-road driving or vehicles navigating tight spaces. If you regularly drive bush tracks or encounter overhead obstacles, flexi-dipoles save money and frustration through reduced replacement frequency. Q: Will this work with my UHF CB radio? A: Yes, if your radio operates on 477MHz (standard Australian UHF CB band) and you have an NMO base mount installed. This antenna is specifically tuned for 477MHz providing optimal performance across UHF CB channels. It works with all major UHF CB radio brands including GME, Uniden, Oricom, and others, as long as you have an NMO base mount connection. The antenna whip itself is radio-brand agnostic - compatibility depends on the mounting system and frequency match. Q: How much range will I get with this 342mm antenna? A: Range depends on numerous factors beyond antenna length including terrain, vehicle height, transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, and obstacles between stations. Generally, 342mm antennas provide 5-15km range in typical suburban conditions, 15-30km in open rural areas, and potentially 50km+ from elevated positions to valley floors. Longer antennas usually provide better range, but 342mm offers practical performance for most applications while clearing car parks and garages. If maximum range is critical, consider longer antennas for stationary base station use and keep the 342mm flexi for mobile applications. Q: Can I use this antenna on a fibreglass canopy or plastic bull bar? A: Antenna performance degrades significantly without proper metal ground plane underneath the NMO mount. Fibreglass canopies and plastic bull bars don't provide adequate ground plane. For best results, mount NMO bases on vehicle metal roof, bonnet, or metal bull bars. If you must mount on fibreglass, you'll need to install a ground plane kit (metal sheet underneath mount) to improve performance, though results still won't match proper metal mounting. Some users successfully mount on metal racks bolted to fibreglass canopies, using the metal rack as ground plane.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

A: This cable works ONLY with 4-pin camera systems. Verify your existing camera and monitor use 4-pin connectors before purchasing. Some camera systems use RCA connectors (single video plug plus separate power), aviation-style connectors, or different pin configurations (6-pin, 7-pin). Check your existing camera cable connector - it must have exactly 4 pins arranged in standard automotive camera configuration. If you're unsure about your system's connector type, take photos of both your camera cable end and monitor input, and contact us for compatibility verification before ordering. Q: Will video quality decrease with this 15-metre extension? A: Some video quality reduction is possible over extended cable lengths depending on camera resolution, monitor sensitivity, and electrical interference in your vehicle. The shielded construction minimizes signal degradation, but analogue video signals naturally lose strength over distance. Most users experience acceptable quality with total cable lengths up to 25-30 metres (original camera cable plus extension). For critical applications or very long runs, consider amplified camera systems or digital IP cameras designed for long-distance transmission. Test the extension before permanent installation - connect temporarily and verify video quality meets your requirements. Q: Can I connect multiple extension cables together for even longer runs? A: While physically possible to connect multiple extensions, it's NOT recommended. Each connection point introduces potential signal loss, and total cable length beyond 30 metres typically results in unacceptable video quality degradation in 12V analogue systems. If you need more than 15 metres of extension (total run exceeding 25-30m including original camera cable), consider: (1) Relocating your monitor closer to the camera, (2) Using an amplified camera system designed for long runs, (3) Upgrading to digital IP camera system with network cable capability, or (4) Installing a video signal amplifier/repeater midway through the cable run. Q: Where should I route this cable through my vehicle? A: Route along existing wiring looms where possible, securing with cable ties every 300-500mm. Avoid routing near heat sources (exhaust systems, turbochargers), moving parts (driveshafts, suspension), or areas subject to pinching (door hinges, tailgate gaps). Use rubber grommets when passing through metal panels to prevent chafing. Keep cable away from sharp edges - use split loom or conduit in exposed areas. For underbody routing, elevate cable above potential water pooling areas and secure firmly to prevent dragging. In motorhomes and caravans, route through cabinet backs and behind wall panels rather than exposed floor areas. Professional installers often follow existing chassis rails and use existing bulkhead penetrations where available. Q: My camera and monitor both have male connectors - will this cable work? A: No, this cable has male connector on one end and female on the other, designed to extend between a male camera cable and female monitor input (or vice versa). If both your camera and monitor have male connectors, you'll need a female-to-female adapter (gender changer) plus this extension cable, OR a male-to-male extension cable (less common). Verify your exact connector configuration: typically cameras have female connectors on the cable coming from the camera unit, and monitors have male inputs, but some manufacturers reverse this. Take photos of both ends and contact us if you need assistance identifying the correct cable or adapter configuration for your specific system.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Alternatively, connect to 4G/5G WiFi routers providing internet connectivity for multiple devices. Q: What's the difference between 3dBi and higher gain antennas? A: 3dBi provides moderate signal improvement (approximately 2x signal strength) sufficient for marginal coverage areas. Higher gain antennas (5dBi, 7dBi, 9dBi) offer better range but are physically longer - 5dBi antennas typically 30-50cm, 9dBi antennas 100cm+. The CLR5G prioritizes discreet installation over maximum gain. If you frequently operate in very remote areas, consider higher gain antennas despite increased length. Q: Which Australian mobile carriers does this work with? A: The 700-3800MHz frequency range covers primary bands used by Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone for 4G LTE and 5G services. Specifically includes Band 28 (700MHz), Band 5 (850MHz), Band 8 (900MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz), Band 1 (2100MHz), Band 7 (2600MHz), and 5G frequencies (3400-3800MHz). All three major Australian carriers use combinations of these bands depending on location. Q: Can I mount this on a fibreglass canopy or roof? A: Performance degrades significantly without proper metal ground plane. Fibreglass doesn't provide adequate ground plane for optimal antenna performance. If mounting on fibreglass, install a ground plane kit (metal sheet) underneath the antenna mount. Best results come from mounting on vehicle metal roof where the entire roof acts as ground plane providing 360-degree coverage. Q: Do I need a signal booster, or can I use just the antenna? A: You need signal booster or 4G/5G router for this antenna to improve phone reception. The antenna alone captures external signal but requires booster equipment to amplify and rebroadcast to your phone, or router equipment to convert cellular signal to WiFi. Popular combinations include antenna + vehicle signal booster (wireless rebroadcast to phones) or antenna + 4G router (WiFi internet for laptops/tablets/phones).

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. Key Features Harada Compatible - Designed for Harada antenna systems fitted to many Japanese and Australian-delivered vehicles. 1 Metre Length - Provides additional cable reach for relocated head units or modified installations.

Cost-Effective Solution - Extends existing antenna system without requiring complete antenna replacement. Standard AM/FM Bands - Covers standard broadcast AM (530-1710kHz) and FM (88-108MHz) frequency ranges. Technical Specifications Specification Details Brand AXIS Model CR010 SKU CR010 Product Type Antenna Extension Cable Description Harada Antenna Extension - 1m Length 1 Metre Signal Type AM/FM Radio Warranty Standard Manufacturer Warranty 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 When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
