My dumb azz managed to break the end of my coaxial antenna connector that goes into the back of the radio, and I want to buy the right crimp thingie to replace it

Problem: I can't seem to find anywhere that actually NAMES the standard so I can just order one

Anybody? Thx

PS the regular FM radio antenna. And I don't need no adapter, I need a replacement crimp-on connector plug

The plug that goes in this, thx

Judging by that picture alone I think you need a female rg58 but am not positive.
That looks to be a male end.

Is this on the new Android Unit?

Thats the back of the Ford radio, broke the connector pulling it out.... well, more like THOUGHT i broke it, being under the mistaken assumption I pulled out part of the head unit's connector with the plug

Then proceeded to take 40 minutes to methodically destroy the resilient bugger, trying to remove the "extra piece", only to later realize it was supposed to be that way.

Ended up being able to jury rig it back together, but a proper new one would probably be better

The pieces, next to an adapter... originally had a loose fitting plastic sleeve that I mistook for a busted stuck on part of the head unit
