Does anyone know if the antenna on the back of the NAv unit is the traditional plug in type or the BMW screw in type?
Nope, it is different from any of those connections in the pic. What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe I can help out.How does it look like? Can you find a picture please? I need to know if it will plug into this:
Yup thats correct, I just ordered the reverse adapter, is that the only one I need or should I buy the other one too?I thought that is where you were going. I am getting ready to put in an HD radio module with the Intravee, and ordered the below adaptor from ebay, and a splitter from Amazon so that I can use the OEM tuner as well if I need to.

Hello, so i'm in a situation situation. And wanted to hear how the above antenna splitter is working for you, particularly any new noise or loss in signal (poor reception for both oem and hd radio), etc. ? Or, satisfied with above setup to drive both oem radio and hd radio through intravee 2?I thought that is where you were going.

The HD radio selection in Columbus is lacking, so I took out the HD tuner and put in a sirius tuner. I was happy with the set up when I had it in though, and will probably switch back at some point. Strength of signal did not appear to suffer, and there was no noise associated with it.Hello, so i'm in a situation situation.

Of note, the wiring for the Alpine HD radio tuner and the Alpine Sirius tuner both use the same power connectors, so switching the two units is literally plug and play once you wire them in for the first time. They both retain memory too!
