RC Mk3 Antenna Connectors

Post by ferrarif1 »

Looking to use the factory cellular aerial antenna on my BMW F80 M3, what is the connector style name used on the Mk3 so I can build/buy an adapter that mates up with the male version of the black connector here:

Hi, It's a standard reverse polarity SMA connector.

One thing to confirm with the factory cellular antenna - ensure it is capable of 3G connectivity, and it's not just tuned for the 4G band. Do check even if it seems to connect with the factory antenna- it's possible it may connect even with a sub-optimal antenna, but may have significantly reduced performance and range.

Hope this helps!
