I wasn't trying to be. I just was actually making sure everyone new what I was talking about. Sorry if it came off that way. You will actually find that I am the last one to start shit on here or give people crap. I agree though the Glide touches suck......most of the new Alpine stuff is lacking in my opinion. I like the 9856 for its simplicity for the price.

So is that BestBuy Terk piece the right piece or not ?
You said "yes" in the post prior, now you're saying no.
Can anyone shed some light, or link where to buy the right piece ?...Thanks.

Its cool, I probably just took it wrong. My bad...I dont usually jump on peoples backs either, just it seems that some people think they're better than everybody else without naming names, and the whole jack A##'s having short fuses gets on my nerves.
Understandable dude. As to the part, not sure . See...in order for it to work you need a conector to plug into the tuner box at one end. On the other end of the connecor it should plug into this adapter. This adapter wont hook right up to the tuner box without some sort of cable between the two. It looks like the right thing but there is no cable. There has to be a adapter out there that works.....

So I guess I'm back where I started ?
I posted this in the vwvortex board in case someone in there has done it yet.
When I figure this out, I'll post the results here.

Well I had to mount the Sirius antenna as they don't make an adapter to be able to utilize the factory Sirius antenna with an aftermarket deck that is Sirius equiped. I'll post pictures soon.

Kind of annoying that it couldn't be done, but I surfed the entire internet searching for anything that would work with no luck. This new antenna seems to work 100 times better, as the factory one would loose reception going under bridges and sometimes on really overcast days for a minute or two. I love having 0 problems with the stereo now. The horrible sound quality, soft clipping, speed sensitive volume, and constant dropped satelite signal was getting REALLY untolerable with the factory system.

Bump for antenna adapter discussions. Looks like none exists?? That one everyone linked is opposite of what we need to continue using the stock antenna?
