Antenna windshield Peugeot 407 9661102880 6561LG

Description

Windshield antenna unit for PEUGEOT 407 cars

Part description

This windshield antenna (antenna unit) is designed to receive the car radio signal and is one of the key elements that affect the quality of listening without noise and dropouts. If you are dealing with poor station reception or a complete loss of signal, the antenna unit is often the culprit.

The part is also searched according to the original numbers 9661102880 and 6561LG, which we recommend comparing with the original part in the car.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically, the replacement of the windshield antenna unit varies according to the specific design of the audio system and the wiring in the car. Below is a practical procedure typical for this type of part.

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

• Compare product numbers 9661102880 / 6561LG with the old part.
• Check the compatibility of the connectors (shape, number of pins/coaxial inputs) and the condition of the connectors.
• Visually check for a cracked unit body, damaged connector or broken handles.
• If it is part of the connection to the glass (contact/surface), check that the contact surfaces are not oxidized.

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

• Set of plastic pry bars for panel removal
• Screwdrivers / bits according to design
• Cleaning agent for electrical contacts
• Soft cloth or insulating tape to secure the cabling

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery to be safe (minimizing the risk of a short circuit when handling the wiring).
2. Get access to the antenna unit – typically by removing a section of trim where the wiring runs to the antenna.
3. Take a picture of the original wiring and cable routing so that you put everything back in the same direction.
4. Disconnect the connectors carefully (do not pull the cable, but the body of the connector).
5. Release the attachment of the antenna unit (clip/screw/locking element depending on the version).
6. Remove the old unit and compare it with the replacement part (numbers, connectors, mounts).
7. Clean the connectors and contact surfaces (if accessible) with contact cleaner.
8. Install the antenna unit in its original location and secure it with the original mount.
9. Connect the connectors – they must clearly “seat” and be secured.
10. Check that the wiring is not pinched, stretched or routed over sharp edges.
11. Refit the removed trim.
12. Connect the battery.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check radio reception (FM/AM depending on equipment) – signal stability, no dropouts when the car is stationary and while driving.
  • Try automatic tuning and compare the number of stations found with the original state.
  • In case of poor reception, recheck the seating of the connectors and wiring.

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

  • Swapping connectors / unsnapped connector: always check for locking and firm seating.
  • Panel damage: use plastic pry bars and follow the steps.
  • Pinched wiring: check cable routing before final covering.
  • Unresolved contact oxidation: cleaning the contacts will often significantly improve signal stability.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Aging of the material and gradual loss of conductivity/insulation in the contact area.
  • Oxidation and moisture in the place of connectors or contacts of the unit.
  • Cabling damage (pinching, breaking, pulling out the connector when disassembling the interior).
  • Poor quality contact after previous repair (loose connector, poor seating).
  • Mechanical damage to the unit mounts during unprofessional disassembly.
