Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, changing the antenna socket requires careful handling of connectors and cable routing. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific car design and installation.

1) Before assembly (checks of the used part, what to compare with the old part)

• Compare the part codes (9650911780, 6561HG) with the old part.
• Check the compatibility of the connectors and their mechanical condition (latches, pins, cracks, corrosion).
• Check that the socket body is not deformed and that the cable connection is firm.

2) Necessary tools and materials (in general, without specific extra parts)

• Basic set of screwdrivers and plastic pry bars for removing covers
• Ratchet/extension according to the attachment used
• Contact cleaner (as needed) and a clean cloth
• Insulating tape / textile tape to secure the line (as needed)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery for work safety.
2. Access the installation site of the antenna base (remove the necessary covers/panelling so as not to damage them).
3. Locate the antenna wire and connectors leading to the socket.
4. Disconnect the connector(s) carefully – do not pull the cable, but the body of the connector.
5. Unfasten the old antenna base (nuts/screws/latches according to design).
6. Remove the old part and compare it with the new part (shape, connectors, mounting).
7. In case of contamination, clean the contact surfaces and check the condition of the cabling in the vicinity.
8. Install the used antenna socket in its original position and seat it correctly.
9. Secure the attachment so that the part does not move and there is no tension on the cable.
10. Connect the connector(s) and check that the latches are properly engaged.
11. Put back the removed covers/trims.
12. Connect the battery.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Verify the function of the car radio and signal reception.
  • If there is a navigation system in the car, verify its reception/signal (if relevant for the given installation).
  • Check that the connectors do not heat up and that there are no dropouts when the wiring moves (gentle test without violence).

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Damage to the connector or pins when disconnecting – always release the latches and pull on the connector, not the cable.
  • Poor seating/mounting – causes signal dropouts; after assembly, check the strength and tension-free cable routing.
  • Neglect corrosion and dirt control – clean contacts and mating surfaces if needed.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical damage to the socket (crack, breakage of attachment) when disassembling the covers or handling the part.
  • Moisture and corrosion of the contacts which deteriorate the conductivity and cause signal dropouts.
  • Squeezed/loose connectors after repeated intervention in the installation (radio, navigation, antenna line).
  • Damage to the wiring (broken wire, pinching) which manifests itself as poor reception or signal fluctuations.
